Following a sold out UK debut show at Union Chapel and
special guest slot at Latitude Festival
Scala & Kolacny Brothers
Announce London Show
@ HMV Forum Dec 13th

“An album of rare beauty with a capacity to surprise” Mail on Sunday

“Goosebump-inducingly beautiful” The Telegraph

“The choir is undeniably brilliant” BBC Music

Scala is the most unique band on the planet. The classically trained Kolacny Brothers; Steven (piano) and Stijn (conducting) have turned their Belgian all-girl choir into an international phenomenon, performing stunningly beautiful reinterpretations of Radiohead, U2, Nirvana and Metallica songs (to name but a few) as well as their equally successful original compositions.

The band today announce that they will return to the London for a headline show at The Forum on December 13th. This follows their sold out debut UK show at Union Chapel in June and their ‘special guest’ performance at Latitude Festival in July where they played to over 18,000 people. Tickets are only £15 and on sale now from www.ticketmaster.co.uk

With their spectacular visual performances and uniquely beautiful arrangements of rock and indie songs, Scala has become a word of mouth phenomenon in Europe and the US. Their version of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ was picked by David Fincher himself to feature on the trailer of hit film ‘The Social Network’ taking the band to a completely new audience. Like the film itself, the trailer has been a huge global hit – more than 250m people have seen in the Cinema, on TV or online. Thanks in part to the subsequent buzz on social media, traffic to the brothers’ website (www.scalachoir.com) went through the roof: their interpretation of ‘Creep’ is an internet phenomenon, watched in various forms around ten million times.

Their eponymously titled album ‘Scala & Kolacny Brothers’, which features a mixture of re-imaginations of famous rock songs as well as some of their own original compositions, is out now on Wall Of Sound.
