SZII is a new and re-vamped version of Shakespeare ZombieNation, this time in duet with the fabulous Leonhard Huhn. Due to covid-19 the premiere had to happen without audience, but thus provided for a very impressive video documentation. Filmed by Verena Maas at Bunker K101 in Ehrenfeld/Köln.

Produced and supported by ON - Neue Musik Köln as part of the POLYMER - concert series.

In June 2021 we will release our Debut Album on the Belgian off-records label. It will be available on most digital platforms.

Among the highlights of the band´s career were gigs and residencies such as Fusion Festival, Jazzfest Kolkata and Casa Banchel in Madrid. By invitation of the Goethe Institute C.A.R. went on a four week long tour playing concerts in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India in 2017. In November 2018 they went to China to play four concerts, taking part in the Jazz Improvise Meeting Festival.

In 2019, C.A.R. curated and hosted the concert series “C.A.R. presents Kraut am Ebertplatz“ in Cologne with seven bands on four days, presenting to the audience a cross-section of a new musical movement that meanwhile get consolidated under the term Krautjazz. The series was crowned by the joint appearance of C.A.R. and Damo Suzuki, the former singer of the band CAN on legendary albums such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi.
