After the digital revolution of Radiohead and their album download adventure, former avant garde singer !JP takes music on the internet one step further: the online tour.
Not only the Online European Playground, the forthcoming new !JP album, will be an adventure to witness online, but his new tour, the Rare Raw, will also be performed on the internet only. Live performances will be taped on the spot and will be beamed directly to computers the world over.
The idea is to perform for a small group of fans and friends somewhere on the planet and through the latest techniques, these performances will be broadcast on the internet. In between his work as an actor in numerous new films and on stage musicals, frontman Jean Koning will be digitally touring all over the world to beam these performances onto the web. Every performance will be a unique one. Diverse in setting, concept and set list.
Currently in preparation, the Rare Raw tour will commence somewhere in the final five months of this year.
