Cult Japanese vocalist Damo Suzuki, who plays Barden's Boudoir this evening, began his musical journey when he was recruited by seminal Krautrock group Can while busking outside a Munich café in 1970. Though he gave up public performances and turned to religion and marriage just four years later, his reputation as the face of improvised, experimental rock was sealed. Suzuki returned to music in the early '80s and now tours the world, choosing like-minded bands or musicians — what he calls Damo Suzuki's Network — to back his distinctive voice and psychedelic style in all manner of triumphantly uncompromising ways.
