Loxbo/Vestergaard are a Swedish-Danish duo working with acoustic reductionism and electronic noise, and they have created precise musical language that ranges from quiet whispers to shouts. It's dreamy music with hard edges, a journey with lots of power between the lines.

These gentlemen are also known for their work in bands like Yes Deer, Doglife and Fire! Orchestra.

Anders Vestergaard - drums, elektronics, Finn Loxbo - guitar

Akmee debuted at Victoria in January 2013, and their music which sits between American jazz and European contemporary, has been very well received. They're now back with both new and old material, working with spontaneous improvisation, intense rhythms and complex melodies.
