Carpet Announce Live Dates for Fall and Winter
In terms of current events, the actual amount of Carpet ‘news’ here is low, but given how generally undervalued I think this band is, I’m not going to make an excuse for posting the live dates they sent down the PR wire in their latest newsletter, first announced in June, or the live session video for “Lost at Sea,” which came out in July.
That’s still recent enough to be a couple months after the March release of the German heavy proggers’ latest long-player, Collision (review here), on which “Lost at Sea” featured memorably in the penultimate position. I’ll admit Carpet have been on my mind since I stumbled on a social media thread asking who people wanted to see next year at Freak Valley. Having never caught Carpet live, they were high on my short wishlist. The live take on “Lost at Sea” certainly does nothing to dissuade in that regard. I like good music, and these guys seem to specialize.
So, a couple weekenders and a months’ old video. Not the most expansive post as regards ‘content’ in the pejorative social-media sense, but if you’re getting caught up like I am on Carpet‘s doings for the back half of the year, well, at least we can keep each other company while the internet’s cool kids are elsewhere, busily knowing everything.
From the PR wire:
In two weeks we will be playing two concerts at two very special venues.
On Friday, October 4th, we will be at the Horst Klub in Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance. We’ve probably never played in a venue more often than there. The DIY club exudes an incredible warmth between punk rock and free jazz. And there is always a fantastic audience in front of the stage between the skateramps and glitter curtains.
On Saturday, October 5, we will be performing at Moodclub Memmingen. The club is organized as a non-profit-association in which the members finance the club and the concerts through their contributions. Club members therefore have free admission to the concerts, guests are always welcome. The club is happy to receive a donation. Pre-registration as a guest is possible by email: info@moodclub.org
Kommt vorbei oder gebt Freunden Bescheid – wir freuen uns!
2024 spielen wir außerdem noch folgende Konzerte:
20.12. Dresden – Chemiefabrik
21.12. Berlin – Neue Zukunft
27.12. Augsburg – Ballonfabrik
28.12. München – Feierwerk

I had already planned to attend the gig at Horst Klub but it is nice to see the venue being highlighted by the band. Time to catch up on the album I suppose.
