drummer. They obviously listen to Kraftwerk 
quite a bit but manage to add a certain rock 
element to their music by using various vintage 
organs and synths and, of course, they’ve got one 
of the nation’s finest rock drummers hitting the 
skins. Apparat Organ Quartet is something that 
has to been seen in order to fully appreciate this 
nation’s eccentricity.
