Living legends don’t come more legendary than Michael Rother.
Thanks to Foggy Notions, the founding member of NEU!, Harmonia, and early Kraftwerk will perform a career-spanning set at the Button Factory on 19th September, drawing from NEU!, Harmonia, and his solo work. Expect deep dives into the Motorik grooves and ambient experiments that have made him a godfather of forward-pushing sound. From the Autobahn to the outer reaches, Rother’s influence runs deep – Bowie, Eno, Sonic Youth have all tuned into the frequency he helped invent.
Joined by Hans Lampe (La Düsseldorf), Franz Bargmann (ex-Camera), and the brilliant Vittoria Maccabruni on electronics and vocals, the show promises pure propulsion and atmosphere in equal measure.
As NEU! and Harmonia mark 50 years – reissued, reworked, and reimagined by the likes of The National, Mogwai, and Jim Jarmusch – Rother proves his sound remains as singular as ever. Don’t miss it.
Tickets go on sale this Friday 9th May at 10am here.
Shameless plug: you might enjoy this NTS special from 2022.
