Istanbul’s finest retro-futuristic outfit Lalalar returns to ALICE at Stairway with their signature mash-up of Turkish psych, electronica, and Anatolian funk. Lalalar’s show at ALICE in 2019 turned into a massive dance party so expect to get moving when the three-piece is back to create a stir in Vanløse. Electric Turk aka Malik Camlica will be spinning records and sharing his love for Turkish psych, funk and pop.

Of the numerous interesting new acts from Istanbul’s alternative music scene, Lalalar is without a doubt one of the more charming. Formed in 2019 featuring musicians from legendary singer Gaye Su Akyol’s band, Lalalar made their way to the to the line-up at important music festivals such as Le Guess Who after only a few live shows and single releases.

Evoking weird 80s psych horror movies, Lalalar are sure to sweep their audience away with their charmingly cinematic sounds. With their soundscapes of futuristic nostalgia crammed full with muddy retro basslines, electronic beats, and Anatolian funk samples, these party starters will convince even the most stubborn skeptics.

The title of Lalalar’s debut single “İsyanlar” (Dunganga Records, 2019) translates as “insurrection” – which sets the tone for their energetic live shows: Pure embodied rebellion. For their performance at ALICE at Stairway, Lalalar will be bringing you tunes from their latest album “Bi Cinnete Bakar” (2022).
