PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)

Rabbit Rabbit Radio is the song-spinning duo of Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi. Collectively, they are founding members of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Tin Hat, 2 Foot Yard, Causing a Tiger, The Book of Knots, and Fred Frith’s Cosa Brava. Drawing on their love of art & folk song, industrial & improvised music and heart-wrenching balladry, their songs are raw, beautiful, sparse and rich. For this 2017 European tour they'll be joined by Jeremy Flower (David Krakauer's Ancestral Groove) on electronics and guitar.
They will perform their new emmersive and heavy-hitting song cycle Lost City - Songs from a Changing Sea - an exploration of the state of our oceans.
