Where Ween meets Willie Nelson, this is weirdo, operatic guitar rock at it's strangest: expat/Korean hybrid Saure Gurken are currently playing around Seoul supporting the release of their new EP '?'. 


From their bio at doindie.co.kr-"Saure Gurken is a three-piece rock band based in Seoul, South Korea. Formed in 2013 by original members Vance Baryn (vocals, bass) and Quaziq (guitars), they were later joined by Josh King (drums) in 2014. Saure Gurken have released one EP (“?” 2015) and will release two more EP's in 2015 and a full album in early 2016. Like its members, Saure Gurken's sound is strange and eclectic, delving into different styles and sounds with the goal of creating musical experiences rather than simply songs. If one listens closely, they might perceive the infuence of a wide variety of artists including Tom Waits, Metallica, Operation Ivy, Mr. Bungle, and Willie Nelson. Ultimately, Saure Gurken's goal is to create music that is interesting and original which defies notions of genre."
