[DID NOT ATTEND: April 29, 2022] Altin Gün / Sessa
Altin Gün sounds like the kind of band I would love–a Turkish psychedelic band from The Netherlands. (Their name means Golden Day).
Their live shows are supposed to be wonderful as well:
Altin Gün’s relentless grooves are truly immersive, anti-elitist, inclusive. It’s truly music for the dancefloor – all dancefloors. Altin Gün are the perfect 21st Century psych band, hinting at a deep record collection while still belonging to a living tradition and having a unique and distinctive voice

But when I listened to them I just couldn’t quite get into it. Possibly because I knew I was so overbooked that night I didn’t want to have yet another band I was dying to see.
Sessa is a Portuguese musician whose record label says “a songwriter …. blessed with a flair for the intimate, the enigmatic, and the licentious. Sessa’s songs are sung in Portuguese, with visceral, sensual lyrics, and melodic flourishes.” He seems more mellow than Altin Gün but I could see people on the dancefloor for both.
