Antenna, Max, and Best at the Bibliothek der Gestaltung, Oslo Night, Basel

Three musicians set up their instruments in front of a wall of books in a library, one of which says WALL, while another features David Bowie, ready to listen to what they have to offer. There’s a drummer with a tiny set (hi-hat, snare, bass drum, cymbal, and sometimes a tambourine), an electric guitarist who only uses his microphone for backing vocals on one song, and a singer who plays jew’s harp through an effects board, as well as some harmonica. Antenna, Max, and Best play what they want to play, a kind of raucous outsider folk blues, and you can be like Bowie and listen as much as you like.
