The concept of “Friday Night Sessions” is to showcase original art and artists. We welcome anything from music to short-film screening, Standup Comedy, Spoken Word, or any other form of original art via our open mic or as a featured artist. We welcome and strive to showcase art from all kinds of different cultural and artistic backgrounds. FNS is a creative hub where East meets West and South meets North in a melting pot of ideas, inspiration, collaboration, and artistic outlet. So If you have something on your mind, be it beautiful, ugly, weird, meaningful, funny, sad or thought-provoking then take to the stage and share it with us. The idea is to create a hub where people, artists, musicians, film makers meet, perform, socialize, engage and involve the community in original art. FNS is a platform from which the artists can perform, test new material, grow and evolve but also a place where you meet people and other artists from different walks in life and hopefully that will create connections and that in turn will create art.😊 So if you like, music, art, film screening, socialising meeting people then come and be part of the next Friday Night Sessions event. We are looking forward to meeting you all 😊

King With No Throne
King With No Throne - performing at FNS
Read more about the artist:
Reto and Kasem began making music in Sydney in October 2000. We were called Flying Mouse then and quickly found the sound that we still possess today. We played with a few folks along the way, but when we left Sydney for London King With No Throne was born with a sound that has elements of drum and bass, and Electro-Trance reminiscent of Massive Attack, Portishead and Radiohead.
King With No Throne originated in the lyrics of the song King With No Throne. Irena, a London filmmaker felt this would be a great name for us. We decided to make it our name as the image of a wondering mystical king who imagines and makes worlds from the fountain of his mind. This parallels closely with the way we feel about the creative journey of being music makers and creating sounds that resonate with something wondrous, mysterious and beautiful about life.
Inspiration - Influences: Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, Portishead, TheXX , Jeff Buckley, Alt-J, Radiohead, Beatles, Madonna, Prodigy, David Bowie, Cold Play, The Killers, The Editors, Anohni, as well as the Nature and the Universe.
LINE UP
Reto Wittwer - guitar, vocals, keys, composition
Kasem Chouja - drums, composition
