Given that we like our music that is influenced by a variety of genres, and can’t easily be categorized, it’s a bit of a crime that we’ve never featured the Von Hertzen Brothers before, but we’re going to rectify that ahead of their UK tour which arrives in the UK in.March.
Many of you will know them already, but their music is an interesting mix of styles, based around classic rock but undoubtedly showing their Finnish folk influences too, as well as some subtle progressive rock elements. Their music is well worth checking out, to me I’ve heard glimpses of some of my favourite artists, as diverse as Bob Mould and Cardiacs, a very personal impression, but very personal.
Anyway they’re heading to the UK in March starting at Norwich Waterfront on the 17th March, but its their gig at the Brooklyn Bowl, London on Friday 18th March, which has particularly grabbed our attention (and we know we do have a Manchester bias sometimes). The Brooklyn Bowl on a Friday night should be great fun, and for more details please visit their website at
Von Hertzen Brothers have a huge back catalogue of material to check out, so visit their website for lots of great music and those full tour dates – they also comes to Manchester Academy 3 on 20th March and end on the 24th March at Bristol The Fleece.
