| Still riding high, Belgian alt-rock band The Guru Guru are pleased to announce a unique livestream concert—with immersive video, interactive live chat, and a Q&A after the show—on the GÂRDEN livestream platform in Rotterdam, Netherlands on 21st March 2024.Commenting on the event, the band said: “GÂRDEN invited us to play a next level livestream on their online platform. They are one of the biggest livestream broadcasters in the Netherlands with a very cool studio in Rotterdam that has huge projection screens for making immersive video content, and it’s super cool!”The band will be playing a full live set with brand new specially created visuals, and fans can interact with the band during the stream through a live chat, choose the visual colours for the next song, or even what pyjamas they want front man Tom the Bomb to wear during the next song. Anything is possible! “We’re really looking forward to this super cool experience and we hope a lot of people around the world will join us,” continued the band. “As an extra, our latest album ‘Make (Less) Babies’ will be available during the show on this new dark green transparent marbled with black limited edition vinyl (only 100 pressed) and it will be signed by all band members. ”The band will be performing tracks from their new album Make (Less) Babies which is out now via Swiss label Humus Records in collaboration with French label A Tant Rêver Du Roi Records.The album is available to purchase now: https://theguruguru.bigcartel.com/Make (Less) Babies was recorded by The Guru Guru at Farrm Studio, Hasselt with assistance from Jasper Vanden Bossche. The record was mixed by guitarist Emiel Van Den Abbeele and mastered by Laurens Grossen Mastering.Album singles ‘Lotta Tension’, ‘Saint-Tropez’ and ‘Make Less Babies’ were released in 2023 and received early support from PROG Magazine, BUZZ Magazine, Noizze, Bring The Noise, Soundsphere Magazine, and airplay from John Kennedy at Radio X, plus BBC Stereo Underground, Amazing Radio, Total Rock and more.The Guru Guru have also enjoyed newfound streaming success for the singles from the album at home in Belgium on Spotify’s New Music Friday, Ruig & Riffs and Indie Goesting playlists, with Apple Music support on New In Rock, New Music Daily, ALT CTRL and The New Rock.Happily dealing in deep express art rock since 2012, The Guru Guru combine feverishly angular guitars with off-kilter poly-rhythms, all complimented by Adriaenssens’ trademark erratic and unhinged vocals. While their influences are drawn from the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, SOULWAX, The Jesus Lizard, and Andy Kaufman, the indie-math/psycho-noise rulebooks are decidedly torn apart, resulting in turbulent songs that somehow seem to develop into wriggling earworms.Gracing the stage at PORTALS, Burn It Down, and ArcTanGent Festival in 2023, the band recently completed an extensive run of EU tour dates alongside French hardcore punks Birds In Row, Belgian noise rockers It It Anita, a sold out stint supporting Dutch alt-rock icons De Staat, and a slot with French post-punks The Psychotic Monks.
