Play Fake Logic / Patience Lasts Forever / Limits Feed Plagues / Pop-Lost-Faith…PLF (AT)

Concert

Thinking PFL just stands for ‘Peter Freya Lukas’ would be too easy. Instead, the trio’s cyberpunk attitude mirrors the group’s approach on how music can be brought into existence. Instrument maker and noise maverick Peter Kutin, sonic nomad vocalist Fridge Brandhi (Freya Edmondes) and iconoclastic drummer Lukas König formed the trio and they miraculously capture that lightning-bolt electric charge of their fortuitous encounter. With Kutin on self-devised light feedback noise machines coupled with an array of synths and König’s percussion-electronics manipulations as rhythm section to Edmondes’s feral vocalisations, PFL are an unorthodox band, right at the edge of brutalist post-punk, noise, and free improvisation.

Who has seen PLF live knows about their potential as a powerful live-band that reaches holistic realms, combining light-music-performance on stage, all live from scratch without back-ups or safety net.
