ORCHESTRE TOUT PUISSANT MARCEL DUCHAMP (London Cafe Oto, 12/12/23)

I have seen literally thousands of musical acts over the last two decades, but I don't think I've experienced one that so gloriously encapsulates everything I adore about live music than this 13-piece Swiss ensemble. Part Chrome Hoof, part Penguin Cafe, they are chaotic, scintillating, beautiful, noisy, exciting, technically dazzling and most of all, a hell of a lot of fun. Gig of 2023? Up there, certainly.
