AVISHAG C. RODRIGUES + HIGHWAY PATROL

In the organizer's words:

Slow Club Freiburg presents: Avishag Cohen Rodrigues + Highway Patrol

The New York-based multi-instrumentalist and artist AVISHAG C. RODRIGUES is the guitarist of the New York punk collective CUMGIRL8.

Rodrigues' music is intricate, raw, aloof, distant and yet vulnerable.

With influences from rock, lo-fi, dark electronics, noise and experimental music, Rodrigues tells sonic stories of harsh electronic landscapes interspersed with bold, cutting guitars and dark, minimal vocals.

With her album "Islands" and several EPs, Rodrigues is known for pushing the boundaries between genres while refusing to be tied down to one particular form.

Her latest single "Some Are" was released in December 2024 with a music video directed by Adeline Thery.

In her live performances, she mixes electronic beats with her signature guitar sound and vocals.

She takes the listener on a journey through different cities, seasons and smoky rooms.

HIGHWAY PATROL
are the Country Rock'n'Roll Real Deal and finally in the Slow Club!
Wild Rhythm 'n' Voodoo Blues from Halle/Saale

A sweet, golden wind blows, a weird guitar plays tricks on you, an eerie voice glides through the humidity and makes your hair stand on end.

And suddenly you're right in the middle of the sound of HIGHWAY PATROL!

Whether in a lonely motel, an overgrown swamp or a strip bar, these songs really do take you on a wild and sensual ride.

It seems as if these instrument-changing freaks have dived deep into the waters that have fueled blues and rock'n'roll since the 70s.

They produce a mysterious blend of country, soul and rhythm'n'roll.

Here hearts are broken and mended in no time, while foul drums make you dizzy with their ferocious rhythm.

Whether they're playing in a barn in front of 30 people or in a hall filled to the rafters, no one can escape the ease and excitement of HIGHWAY PATROL.

So let's hear what some other people have to say after hearing this little beast:

"I am quite sure behind the trashy shell lurks a real diamond."
(- Screamin' Jay Hawkins, questioned via ouija board in spring '24.)

"If I had to marry, I would marry the band HIGHWAY PATROL."
(- Henne from Henne Records )
