Timo Lassy Band, Mopocalypse Festival, Kaukolampi: We Jazz Catalogue Remix (01-10), Moskus (NO), Kim Myhr: You | Me (NO/SE), Jonah Parzen-Johnson (US)
At 21 (doors at 20), Tiivistämö (building 5), Mittarikorjaamo/Huilaamo (building 9)
The night at Suvilahti is full of surprises. We all know that Timo Lassy Band is a grade-A ensemble but what we don’t know is what Mopocalypse Festival will offer us. We are talking about a “sub-festival”, a festival inside of a festival. Mopo will perform and everything beyond that is a mystery. The K-X-P frontman Kaukolampi remixes the first ten We Jazz records live and also we’ll have two wonderful Nordic combos to perform: Nordic Music Prize nominee, avantgarde great Kim Myhr and the minimalistic trio Moskus. The Brooklyn-based Jonah Parzen-Johnson arrives to Helsinki giving a taste on his magical way of mixing the sounds of a saxophone together with electronic elements. The age limit for this event is 18.
