We&#8217;re just going to say it: not enough bands feature a theremin. The avant-garde jazz-pop trio Blueblut prides itself on the variety of instruments they use in their music; from the garden variety types, such as drums and guitar, to broken wind-up toys. The best-known artist of this band, Pamelia Kurstin, is the world&#8217;s premier theremin player, and has performed with big names like Yoko Ono and David Byrne. (If you don&#8217;t know what a theremin is, it&#8217;s an instrument that allows an artist to produce a sci-fi sound by plucking thin air.) She&#8217;s joined by the equally promising drummer Mark Holub, whose previous band was nominated for a Mercury Prize, and guitarist Chris Janka, who has also masterminded the production of the album. Jyurin, a band gaining increasing popularity in this city, will be opening for the Viennese trio&#8217;s first performance in Fukuoka, so this promises to be a night of musical mirth, talent and innovation. A must see.  <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/unnamed-1-e1430197215922.jpg?resize=640%2C432\" alt=\"unnamed-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61087\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 05\/06 (Wed.)
