Fans of experimental and instrumental music can look forward to a rare and long-awaited performance this year as pioneering Chicago post-rock group Tortoise make their Thailand debut with Tortoise Live In Bangkok on Sept 4 at Bantadthong Art Space.
Presented by Seen Scene Space, the concert marks one of the most significant bookings yet for Bangkok's growing indie music community. Alongside scheduled performances in Malaysia and Singapore, the Bangkok show forms part of the band's limited Southeast Asian run following the release of their latest album Touch in October last year.
Formed in Chicago in 1990, Tortoise are widely regarded as one of the foundational bands behind what later became known as post-rock, though their music has consistently pushed beyond the boundaries of any single genre.
