Tindersticks first performed in Prague in September 1992, opening for Nick Cave at his first concert here. What will this "conspicuously quiet band of guitar gangsters" sound like in 2016?

Tindersticks released their first album in 1993, an audacious seventy-nine minute sprawling double album that paid little if no attention to the prevailing musical scene. Self-produced, it broke many supposed rules of how albums should be made. It was released to huge critical acclaim and established the band on a path of musical adventure that they are still feeling their way down today.
Along the way they have continued to explore and develop their sound, touring the world, often playing with orchestras, scoring 7 films by renowned film director Claire Denis, writing and recording many duets and singing with, amongst others, Lhasa de Sela, Mary Margaret O’Hara and Isabella Rossellini as well as creating soundscapes for museums and music for art installations.
The 3 original members - Stuart A. Staples, Neil Fraser and David Boulter - are now fully joined by Dan Mckinna (bass) and Earl Harvin (drums). Together they have created the band’s 10th studio album, ‘The waiting room’.
The album will be accompanied by a film project, with a film for each song having been commissioned from selected film-makers around the world. This collaboration with La Blogotheque and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival will premiere at the 2016 edition of the Festival.
