**Kultur Shock Acoustic Live: Seattle’s Legendary Band Announces New Release with Old Age Recording Co and Exclusive Live Shows**
SEATTLE – [Release Date] – Seattle’s very own musical powerhouse, Kultur Shock, renowned for their intoxicating fusion of Balkan music and punk metal, is poised to captivate their audience once again. Founded by vocalist Gino Yevdjevich alongside a fervent ensemble of immigrant Balkan musicians in 1996, the band has steadfastly forged a unique space within the global music scene.
After a triumphant return to the post-pandemic touring circuit with a whirlwind festival and club tour in Europe in 2022, Kultur Shock has teamed up with Seattle's emergent label, Old Age Recording Co. Their collaboration has borne fruit in the form of the "Kultur Shock Acoustic Live" album, recorded live at the storied Town Hall in Seattle. This unique performance was an integral part of the Global Rhythms series, meticulously curated by Jon Kertzer.
Adding to the excitement, Kultur Shock has announced live performances on October 6th and 7th at the Clockout Lounge in Seattle, ensuring fans get a live taste of their genre-blending sound, fresh from the new album.
Kultur Shock's influence spans a vast musical spectrum, merging experimental sounds with the fervor of punk rock. While their tunes carry echoes of renowned bands like Gogol Bordello, System of a Down, Dubioza Kolektiv, Goran Bregovic, and Manu Chao, they retain a distinct and unmistakable signature sound, carving out their own niche in the music world.
