After performing a fantastic show at Gorilla on 10th February Manchester acoustic/electro-jazz trio GoGo Penguin announce another huge show in the city, this time at The Albert Hall. Their new record ‘A Humdrum Star’ will be well within the ears of fans by this point so the show should have a really special atmosphere under the stained glass windows.

The band’s music features break-beats, minimalist piano melodies, powerful basslines, drums inspired from electronica and anthemic riffs. They compose and perform as a unit. Their music incorporates elements of electronica, trip-hop, jazz, rock and classical music.

Critics have associated GoGo Penguin’s music with references to Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Massive Attack, Brian Eno, modern classical composers Shostakovich and Debussy, or contemporary minimal music composers like Philip Glass. While the music is categorized as Jazz, the band states that they actually renounce on the genre-typical improvisation.
