Formed in Liverpool in 1985, the Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus is a unique experimental ensemble whose work goes beyond music.
For over thirty-five years the band’s cult following has grown. Their mesmerising recorded material is influenced by diverse cultural perspectives and stimulates a deeply personal and subjective awakening.
Ethereal vocals, ambient compositions, chants, acoustic instrumentation and field recordings generate beautiful and emotionally intense soundscapes. Their live performances are improvised, often featuring fragments, echoes and reimaginings of the recorded work.
Head along to The Invisible Wind Factory and celebrate the school holidays and the start to the weekend with a boogie!
