One of the 21st century\u2019s grooviest bands are returning to Ljubljana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Comet Is Coming have been ripping it up ever since their inception in a London warehouse back in 2013. To mark the release of their first album, Channel The Spirits, in 2016, the band raised the Channel Zero roof to the skies at a spectacular Druga Godba concert<\/a>, writing themselves into festival history as they did so. The prime mover and first man of the new London jazz scene Shabaka Hutchings<\/strong> first came to the attention of the Slovenian audience with Sons of Kemet<\/strong>, and has also performed in Ljubljana with The Ancestors<\/strong>. Each of his formations has its own history, but the return of The Comet Is Coming brings with its such special, unique sounds, it\u2019s as if the music were coming from somewhere deep in space \u2013 not far, perhaps, from where Sun Ra, Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, the most important influences on the band\u2019s creativity, are living.<\/p>\n

Following the release of their second album, Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery<\/strong><\/a> (Impulse, 2019), which has received rave reviews, the Comet have invited nations and generations to board their spaceship and land on some of the world\u2019s biggest stages. People are still talking about their performance at this year\u2019s Glastonbury\u2026<\/p>\n

12 February<\/strong> is the day the Katedrala stage at Kino \u0160i\u0161ka<\/strong> plays hosts to a sci-fi musical adventure that will scramble your mind and get you asking who you are (and where) for a long time afterwards. Dress code? Something that makes you stand out from the crowd: it will make it easier for them to find you when you\u2019re lost in space.<\/p>\n
