Salon IKSV will host the quiet, vibrant sounds of Cigarettes After Sex on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 May. Set to start at 21:30, tickets are priced at 85 TL (60 TL for students) and are available via Biletix (Wednesday, Thursday).
From the organizer:
Came to life in 2008 when Greg Gonzalez, known for his androgynous vocals, accidently came up with the dreamy collages that would later on become the trademark of the band, while he was making vocal experiments in college. These demos made a sudden but soft crash as the first EP of the band in 2012. The reluctant attitude and the mysterious image of the band turned them into an instant phenomenon in online circles. Their cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep on Loving You” turned them into a much sought after band worldwide. With their follow-up singles, they became the darlings of young boys and girls. They also enamored the generation that grew up with bands like Slowdive and Mazzy Star. After achieving worldwide fame, they released their self-titled debut last year. Full of love songs about dual relations, the album provided millennials with ballads on modern love, courtesy of Gonzalez’s poetic and devastating lyrics. Through their name, lyrics, and cinematic style and naïve eroticism in their visual presentations, they constructed a language unlike any other among their contemporaries. On their second visit to Istanbul, they will be playing two nights at Salon.
