RATTHEW // Knaus 23.59
RATTHEW is a queer, DIY, dada-punk band from the wastelands of northern Norway. With the autonomous youth headquarter Blitz as their Oslo base and an unholy inspiration from Dadaism, camp aesthetics and queer club culture, they deliver an anarchic mix that defies conventional boundaries. We might as well mention The Garden, Machine Girl and The Prodigy.
Their iconic visual style featured by jungle breaks, raw and noisy
post-punk instrumentals, with playfully chaotic vocals pays homage to
the rebellious spirit of punk’s heyday. RATTHEW's unmistakable,
campy fashion and sound is a testament to their refusal to conform,
rendering them wonderfully distinct and refreshingly different.
RATTHEW was founded by Samuel Dalheim (bassist and producer)
and Wiktoria Krystyna Szmigiel (vocalist and songwriter) after
meeting in high school. The duo decided to chase their dream of
making music and moved to Oslo to test their luck. Now complete
with Andreas Thingstad (guitarist and visual artist) on their team, they
have swiftly made themselves both feared and desired in Norway's
alternative scene.
Headlining festivals such as by:Larm, Vill Vill Vest, and the esteemed
Natt&Dag event during Oslo Pride, RATTHEW has electrified
audiences with their live performances, before officially releasing any
body of work. Their dynamic stage presence and boundary-pushing
music garnered stellar reviews from outlets such as P3 and
Aftenposten, solidifying their place in Norway’s alternative scene.
Their highly anticipated debut EP “Rat City” is scheduled for release
26th of January 2024, following their signing with the renowned
Norwegian record label Fysisk Format.
The band's DIY approach permeates every facet of their craft, from
styling and graphic design to production, mixing and mastering. Their
recording and songwriting process is heavily based on sampling and
experimentation, which goes hand in hand with their Dadaist ideology.
Events at the Student Society can be adapted for visitors with movement and hearing impairment. See here for more information.
