Basel, this one was especially for you 🤍

Our two concerts at Bird‘s Eye – the last ones before Christmas takes over – felt less like playing gigs and more like celebrating the end of the year together.
 Thank you for that gift, even if it won’t fit under a Christmas tree. ✨

Next year’s already on our minds, and we can’t wait to be back out there!

The day after our first Bird’s Eye show in Basel is mostly about processing side effects. 🤪

Before the concert, we met class 4M, who asked frighteningly good questions. Why insects, how ideas turn into songs, and whether jazz needs legs to move. We are still arguing about that one. 🤔

Also: Our new merch suitcase also entered the wild!!! Handmade, slightly unstable, surprisingly resilient.

Round two tonight. We think you should come!

After seeing these «emojis that don’t exist» posts, it's obvious that what's actually missing is a whole emotional-support keyboard for MaxMantis fans.

It's a problem! There’s no emoji for «Rex’s bass solo slapped me into another dimension», no emoji for «Jeff’s keys got me dizzy like I stood up too fast», and DEFINITELY none for «I swore I’d behave but now I’m buying tickets again»,

But while tech catches up, do yourself a favor:
🧨 Don’t miss the MaxMantis gigs at @birdseyejazzclub on Dec 16 & 17. 💥

So there we were at Jazz in Witikon, mid-set, playing «Nature of the Beast», when @lukasgernet fingers decided to run the show – like a millipede with its own mind. 🎹 Catch the continuation: Dec 16 & 17 at @birdseyejazzclub
