George Herriman created Ignatz in 1910. It was a vicious mouse in the comic Krazy Kat. Ignatz’ favourite occupation was throwing bricks at Krazy Kats head, who thought it was a love declaration from the mouse. The Brussels based artist Bram Devens uses Ignatz as his alter-ego for his own pile of bricks. Acoustic songs wrapped with effects and driven by improvisation and spontaneousness.
Ignatz is essentially man + electric guitar + effects pedal. He smokes, drinks beer and playes with his back towards the audience, torturing his guitar with mind-boggling lo-fi Blues. Last time in Helsinki at Flow Festival on August Ignatz played to a crowd listening in awe. One word of response was: "God".
