Godspeed You! Black Emperor
MODO-LIVE, Biltmore Theatre & Programme Presents:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
GY!BE was formed in 1994 in Montreal, Quebec. The group has released 8 studio albums with their first album F#A#∞ released in 1997 to much acclaim. Widely recognized as redefining what protest music can be, where longform instrumental chamber rock compositions of immense feeling and power serve as soundtracks to late capitalist alienation and resistance. Godspeed's legendary live performances are uncomparable to many other bands and artists with their sweeping and ethereal music, featuring multiple 16mm projectors beaming a collage of overlapping analog film loops and reels—along with the distinctive iconography and imagery — further defines the sui generis aesthetic substance, ethos and mythos of this group. GY!BE has issued two official band photos in its 25-year existence, has no website, no social media and puts on beautiful shows.
