THE BOHMAN BROTHERS

PAN MASTERS
Bohman Brothers
8 May
/
7:00 pm

“ Sound art veterans The Bohman Brothers invest random words with unearned meanings via the eloquent juxtapositions of their elegantly neutral voices. After three decades of experimentation, these alchemists of banality, these banal chemists, turn everyday leaden language into poetic gold.” - Stewart Lee (reviewing the ‘Back On The Streets’album) 

 

AdamBohman and Jonathan Bohman have been recording together since theirearly teens and playing live since 1984.  

 

Their repertoire includes a combination of sounds created in the moment and distinct compositions including songs. They use unconventional instruments, household objects, dislocated text from found, literary and commercial sources and collaged layers of recordings. 

 

Regular concerts started in the mid-90s in London at places like The Club Room in Penton Street, The Red Rose and The Klinker. From 2000 to2005 they had their own concert series upstairs at The Bonnington Café in Vauxhall, London. 

 

Working together they are in a number of groups, including : Secluded Bronte with Richard Thomas, The BBC with Richard Crow, Apricot My Lady with Lukas Simonis & Anne La Berge and  Ischio Romantico with Leonard Aspen & Roger Boulding.  They have also worked with film-maker Peter Strickland on various projects. 

 

They have performed at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Roundhouse, Royal Albert Hall, South Bank and numerous smaller venues around the UK. Also across Europe and America. 

 

Their duo recordings include 'A Twist For All Pockets' (Rossbin, 2001),'Purely Practical' (Peripheral Conserve, 2002), ‘Back On The Streets' (Peripheral Conserve, 2012), ‘Library Music’ (Des Astres D’Or, 2019), ‘In Their 70s’ (Fort Evil Fruit, 2021) and  ‘Room Service ‘ (Rural Isolation Project, 2024).

Come down for a night of electronic-focused experimentation.

A heady brew of improv, noise and remix culture that showcases the depth and diversity of the left-field music scene in Birmingham and beyond.

It’s a slice of cosmic pie for all the family, washed down with a hot jug of granular gravy. All in one Pan.
