Scala is the most unique band on the planet. An act made up of the classically trained Kolacny Brothers; Steven (piano) and Stijn (conducting) who have turned a 200 strong Belgian all-girl choir into an international phenomenon, performing imaginative reinterpretations of Radiohead, U2, Nirvana and Metallica songs (to name but a few) as well as their equally successful original compositions.
An E.P. with a re-imagination of Kings of Leon lead track ‘Use Somebody’ will be Scala’s first keynote UK release through Wall Of Sound on April 11th with an album to follow in June. It will showcase the group’s unique ethereal sound through a haunting version of this iconic rock song as well as an original track ‘My Forever Hungry Heart’. The video for Scala’s ‘Use Somebody’ is now live on their YouTube Channel:
With their spectacular visual performances and uniquely beautiful arrangements of popular 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 went through the roof: their interpretation of 'Creep' is an internet phenomenon, watched in various forms over 10 million times.
Scala have sold over 200,000 records in Europe now and were recently requested and confirmed to perform at Coachellaand SXSW this year by the organisers. The latter of which will see them play in one of the most prestigious slots of the conference.
Live Shows:
March 18th - SXSW - Austin TX
