We're really pleased to be bringing Oslo's finest, Pom Poko back to Esquires for the first time in ages, following their near s*ld out show during Independent Venue Week 2022. The band visit us as part of an intimate UK tour and off the back of their Bella Union released, third album 'Champion' in late 2024.
Pom Poko are growing up. On Champion, a monumental slice of reflective and life-affirming post-punk, vocalist/lyricist Ragnhild Fangel Jamtveit, bassist Jonas Krøvel, guitarist Martin Miguel Almagro Tonne, and drummer Ola Djupvik are the closest they’ve ever been, both personally and in terms of their hermetically tight four-piece rock instrumentation.
When most bands call each other “family”, it’s a bit of a cliché—but with Pom Poko, after years of touring the four corners of the world and instituting a stringently democratic songwriting process, they really have evolved into one highly-synchronized unit, whose mission is to stay as true to their artistic values as possible while continuing to explore the farthest reaches of their slightly chaotic, always exhilarating sound.
Make sure you put Sunday 11th May in your diary and come and see one of the most unique and exhilarating live bands around.
