Hailing from Amsterdam but coming from various backgrounds, Alt?n Gün has captured the world's imagination with an indelible fusion, for over five years now. The band combines psychedelic rock, deep funk, synthpop, cosmic reggae, and more with the rich and incredibly diverse traditions of Anatolian and Turkish folk music. Debut album On (2018) quickly captured the world's attention and a year later the band earned a prestigious GRAMMY? Award nomination for "Best World Album" with it's sophomore LP Gece (2019).
After two years of recording separately from home during the pandemic and releasing ?lem and Yol (2021) as a result, the band members of Alt?n Gün now recorded a live album in the studio again, called A?k. This album sees Alt?n Gün swinging away from the electronic, synth-drenched sound of their home-recorded albums, to capture all the infectious power and urgency of the band's famously, propulsive live performances. A?k (2023) therefore marks a new start for the band, that is ready to tour the world again.
Recorded using vintage equipment and techniques, the ten groundbreaking tracks on A?k all represent visionary new readings of traditional Turkish folk tunes, revealing how these ancient songs remain eternally resonant and ripe for reinterpretation. This results in an exuberant return to the 70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that has characterized Alt?n Gün's first two albums.
Renowned for their dizzyingly hypnotic live performances, Alt?n Gün has been lighting up stages all around the world, including sold out headline tours in North America, Europe, and the UK, along with show-stopping sets at top international festivals like Coachella (US), Lowlands (NL), Primavera Sound (SP), Fuji Rock (JP) and Iceland Airwaves (IS), to name but a few.
Alt?n Gün is: Merve Da?demir (vocals and keyboards), Erdin? Ecevit (vocals and keyboards), Thijs Elzinga (guitar), Jasper Verhulst (bass), Daniel Smienk (drums), Chris Bruining (percussion).
We bad a great time in Neptune Theater in Seattle. Even though it was packed to the max capacity, it was a great night because it was intimate and inviting. They could use a bigger venue next time but Im not sure If I’d like the bigger space that compromises the close up experience. I’ll definitely go again
This group creates a magical blend of Turkish folk music and modern day funk/pop/rock music. I saw them twice in LA and can't wait to see them again!
A band that plays guitar, baglama, darbuka and voice-driven music deserves a clearer & crisper sound, which I believe would also incite a more dynamic performance. A combination of the venue's acoustics and the sound levels caused unpleasant distortions and clippings of the music. A live music experience that makes you rather stick to your home theatre.
I was thrilled to hear them live. It was a captivating, fun, amazing crowd. I would go back-to-back if there were two shows in a row.
I enjoyed the show. It was weird seeing the artists going in and out during the songs. Pachyman could’ve done better
The best vibes a crowd could ever have at a concert. Impeccable musicality.
Absolutely love this band as recording artists and live. Loved 'em so much I bought tix to Philly and NYC :)
When I say Altin Gün put on the best show ever, this is not an understatement. The music, the energy, the vibes, it was all absolute perfection. They know how to captivate the audience and make you feel the music in your soul. If you get the chance to see them, you would be doing yourself a disservice to decline. Go support artists like them, we need more small bands in small venues like this.
Seeing them live was soo much fun. There was a lot of dancing. Altin Gün is so groovy, and they seem so friendly and down to earth. :?) I'd love to see them again, hopefully they com back to Massachusetts someday !
These are soo good. If they show up again, I will see them again and again. I love them, and I did not know much about them before. So good so good! Also, staff at the venue was gr8 too. ????
