Flat Bop
Saturday den 19. September kl. 9:00 pm - 1:00 am
If you take a close taste of a spoonful of Flat Bop’s ‘Soupe de Loop’, you will catch a hint of funk, a touch of jazz, notes of rock, and a seasoning of crafty blues, though the all-dominating flavor is undoubtedly ‘groovy’. Flat Bop is not a genre; It has its own characteristic sound that is hard to define. Each member throws their own ideas into the big pot, stirs it together, and serves up delicacies—every single time.
