The Berne musician clique around Oli Hartung, Eric Facon and Beda Senn and several well-established protagonists of Switzerland’s music scene are coming together for a common cause: the project «ISNT NITS» is a homage to the Dutch cult band Nits. The concert «ISNT NITS» will take place on 3th May. Additionally, Jurkzok 1001 will contribute a short perfomance based on the band’s lyrics, which he wrote especially for this concert evening.

The project «ISNT NITS» includes the production of an cover album with songs by Nits, reinterpreted by Swiss musicians like Büne Huber, Heidi Happy, The Weyers and many others. Some content of the album was recorded in our studio in January 2014. It will be released on 2nd May 2014.
