A truly international concept, for those who don't know Lebanon Hanover's members are neither from Hanover nor Lebanon, and in fact are Larissa Georgiou, aka Larissa Iceglass of Switzerland, and William Maybelline of the UK.

Packed with atmosphere, the kind of noises that seem to channel directly to the centre of your brain, and so much dark energy you quickly start to picture how good this would be live.
