On Friday one of the most original music projects of the last decade will perform. ACO was set up in 2004 by... six art critics: Agnes Wegner, Andreas Schlaegel, Laura Oldenburg, Micz Flor, Raimar Stange i Sabine Schmidt, who play together since 2004. The group performs their own songs, covers, and first of all, compositions written especially for them by invited artists representing German, Scandinavian, British and Japanese artistic scene. The first release of ACO was a 12-inches picture disk designed in 2005 by John Bock and Kirstine Roepstorf. Two years later the newest ACO’s long-play – Artists Songs – came out. ACO played in most of German clubs and gave a great show at the last year’s Art Critics Award in Vienna. The group is now described as: “ultimative art rock band of the new millennium: conceptual, punky, sensitive”.
Music, as well as activity of the group, is based on intelligent sense of humor and auto irony. The musical aspects are a background for comical and brilliant lyrics and shows.
