THE TANGENT. Virtuoso musicianship combined with imaginative writing, intense live performances, "on the pulse" lyrics and songs that totally escape from the tired formulae of modern media preference.
From 20 minute long miniature symphonies to complex workouts and screaming rockers, the Tangent calmly repiece together the ideas of more imaginative generations, weave them together with their own and present them here in 2011, alive, well, fresh and relevant to NOW.
the Tangent's story goes back into the late 70s , through collaborations with anarchist band Chumbawamba, alliances with the Swedish progressive rock giants The Flower Kings, a legendary recording studio project, the recreation of Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring" - these experiences and many more have led the Tangent to end up as a wide eyed and open minded unit
a Tangent concert is all about the members of the band delivering a highly exciting, mesmerising and above all INVOLVING experience without the aid of projectors, lasers, revolving drum kits or flying pianos, complex light shows or other distractions.
if there was ever a dream of truly Independent Rock Music, The Tangent sum it up. It's what imaginative Rock & Roll should be, what it could be, and fortunately for those who know the band, what it actually IS.
