It has been announced that Wes Banderson will tour across the UK for four shows to celebrate the music from Wes Anderson films this September.

Titled ‘Wes Banderson: The Music of Wes Anderson’, the shows will see the five piece ensemble performing  in Team Zissou livery and switching between instruments to perform the soundtracks of ‘Rushmore’, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’, ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’, ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and beyond.

The group also performs pieces from composers Mark Mothersbaugh, Alexander Desplatt, Sven Libaek, Shankar-Jakishan, Maurice Ravel and more, accompanied by live projected visuals.

The dates for the UK shows are as follows:

9 Sept – Manchester – Yes Pink Room

10 Sept – Bristol – Jam Jar

11 Sept – London – Hootananny

12 Sept – Birmingham – Hare And Hounds

Creator/Director Adam Znaidi,, says: “The aim for this show was to make it feel like a ‘gig’, something that anyone could enjoy, even if they weren’t that familiar with Wes Anderson’s films. It gets really loud, it gets really quiet and takes you on a journey through a whole load of genres.”
