Sea + Air, 31hours and Khamsina at Ark T Centre, Oxford

SEA + AIR on UK tour. Support from 31hours and Khamsina.

After 10 years of trying, writing, recording and playing over 1200 concerts all over the world as "Daniel Benjamin" the married couple experienced a key moment in summer 2010:
Supporting Whitney Houston on her European tour, they managed to silence huge arenas only with their two voices, realising that they had suddenly reached the goal of touching a mainstream audience by simply being who they are.
The following decision to change their band name was the only possible logical consequence since "Daniel Benjamin" was no longer a solo project. The most important feature of their music wasn't the almost supernatural harmony of their voices only. Also the stubborn idea that German and Greek cultural goods inherit enough to create unique and timeless music, became important.
Inspired by the melodic beauty of J. S. Bach's baroque, the deep and experimental epoch of German 70's music such as Popol Vuh and the big architecture of stadium rock like The Scorpions, the still simple songwriting of SEΛ+ΛIR always finds its way back to catchy but striking hymns that a country at the sea like Greece develops and spreads since centuries.
31hours

31hours are an alternative band from Oxford, blending a variety of sounds, including elements of afropop, electronica, and atmospheric indie rock to create a diverse yet recognisable sound, described in Nightshift magazine as “immensely pleasing eclectic prog pop”
Khamsina
From solo artist to a four piece band, Khamsina has gigged across Canada and England, prolific in their work which is renowned for being fresh and organic. With almost storytelling enchantment, they take you on a journey of sound, drawing you in with their theatrical, bold and powerful music. Likened to Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Florence and the Machine, and The Cranberries, Khamsina’s music cannot be subjected to one genre alone.
