Sidney & Matilda

“Das Rad is highly recommended for anyone looking for a very human and artistic take on progressive rock.” – by Jon Davis, EXPOSÉ

Nick Robinson – guitars / Martin Archer – woodwind, keys / Jon Short – bass guitar / Steve Dinsdale – drums, keys / Peter Rophone – voice

Das Rad – where leftfield rock grooves, extended arrangements, improvisation and electronic abstraction all meet in the creative centre of the sound. Commentator Sid Smith (Prog Magazine) says: “Is it jazz? Is it rock? Is it folk? Is it prog? Is it electronica? The answer is all of the above and probably a lot more besides. Not that Das Rad care and neither should you. Energetic, incisive and infused with an inquisitive, passionate spirit, Das Rad create music that goes where it needs to. Do what you can to join them on that journey.”

This gig celebrates the launch of a new Discus Music album – the band’s sixth – “Open Up The Door”

Support: Åyusp are a Sheffield based duo consisting of Graham McElearney and Paul  Jonathan Mills. The band was formed in 2017, inspired by a wide range of  electronic music, from 70s Kosmische right through to the contemporary,  along with plenty of prog, pastoral and ambient influences too. They are currently preparing their second album  “Signals From the Orange Star”, to be released late 2026 on the Castles In  Space label.”
