Bas Jan @ Kilkenny Arts Festival 2022
Since their first album, Yes I Jan, was released in 2018, London-based ensemble Bas Jan have been critically acclaimed for their idiosyncratic, playful art-pop.
Led by vocalist, harpist, bassist, keyboard player and Jarvis Cocker-collaborator Serafina Steer, Bas Jan write deliciously off-kilter songs about everything from politics to polygamy, packed with wry lyrics and leavened by Steer’s elastic vocals. The band is often compared to post-punk legends the Slits and the Raincoats, and Cleere’s Theatre is the perfect venue to catch their unique take on pop.
