(Lyskestrekk, Oslo)

We are very proud to welcome Oslo’s own Flammer Dance Band, a heavy Afro-psychedelic outfit from the far north, to the Planet Rock family.

Flammer is being run by a bunch of veteran breakdancers who, years ago, had been perfecting their moves by rocking and popping to the Afro-funk of Rob, Ebo Taylor and Fela Kuti. The energetic 7-piece is all about vintage synths, spaced-out effects, hip-shaking grooves, and headbanging breaks! Tight-ass rhythm, and quality musicianship, with the freedom, spontaneity, and energy of a jam band.

Flammer were first recognized by the international music-loving audience when releasing their first 7-inch, "Mer / Holder Rytme" in 2020 on their own Lyskestrekk imprint, immediately establishing them as a weird and wonderful act to watch out for.

In fall 2024, they released their new album, "Gynger", again on their own label, a mostly instrumental masterpiece of interlocking, funky guitars, wild percussion, and occasional mumbled vocals.

But, like with all great bands, it is still best to catch this volcano of a collective live in concert.
