Next show: Amsterdam, Wed 11 Nov
"Gates of Kiev" is a Dutch band founded by childhood friends Tomas Mesman and Hessel Braat, driven by a shared passion for boundary-pushing psychedelic and progressive rock from the 60s and 70s. Inspired by iconic bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Deep Purple, and Pink Floyd, they've added their own modern twist to these influences, resulting in a unique and surrealistic rock experience. The live set is performed by the two using blistering organs and vocals(Tomas) and hyperactive drums(Hessel) and bass by Eszl with a French last name. On their first EP Bassist Marnix Bakker, Vocalist Chris de Meza and Guitarist Eren Ozilhan play along. Tales of Aion is produced by Alejandro Yelin and Luca Milozzi.
