After playing and touring together in Oghene Kologbo’s band, World Squad, Jakob Warmenbol (drums) and Giotis Damianidis (bass) joined forces with baritone saxophonist Viktor Perdieus and created Don Kapot. Their powerful groove owes a lot to Kologbo and having rubbed shoulders with the legendary Tony Allen. Don Kapot composes together starting from improvisations. This is the source of their unique sound which feeds on the tastes and influences of each member. As their name says, humor and slight self-irony play a healthy role in their music. Shaking booties on some kind of free jazz, what a program!

 

Their first LP was released on Mr. Nakayasi Records in 2018. The band has started a partnership with the famous Flemish label W.E.R.F. Records. Check their album “Hooligan” !
