Lambchop

The American band Lambchop is going to perform at Curtas Vila do Conde - International Film Festival in July in a film-concert that sets the start of the band's European tour. The group lead by Kurt Wagner will hit the stage on the last day of the Festival, 12th July, at 22:00 at Teatro Municipal de Vila do Conde. It will be one of the band's rare performances in Portugal.

The Nashville band known for their alternative country-rock sound and gloomy tone is going to score live a Bill Morrison film produced by Curtas Metragens CRL. Using his found footage re-montage technique, Morrison takes a trip through Portuguese silent films between 1910 and 1930, making use of the abundant archive of the Cinemateca Portuguesa. It will be the world premiere of this filmmaker's surprising work.

On the second part of the show Lambchop fans will have the opportunity to listen to some of the band's songs. With over two decades and 11 studio albums Lambchop stands out internationally by defying conventions with a mix of rhythms and experiences that result in unique performances of rare beauty.

Tickets cost between 12 and 18 euros and are already available at Bilheteira Online and at the Teatro Municipal.

Lambchop's concert is a part of Curtas Vila do Conde's Stereo section, endorsed by FNAC. In this film-concert section, bands are invited to score and perform live, merging film and music. For the 23rd edition several shows from various musical genres are already confirmed with artists like You Can’t Win, Charlie Brown, Frankie Chavez, Garcia da Selva (with guest Norberto Lobo) and Bruno Pernadas.
