Schnellertollermeier @ Singer Space
Three measures. Three bodies.
Swiss trio Schnellertollermeier — bassist Andi Schnellmann, guitarist Manuel Troller and drummer David Meier — come together as a restless organism, weaving a present held tight yet always unfolding.
Formed in 2006, the group fuses modern composition, minimalism, free improvisation and raw rock energy, pushing bass, guitar and drums beyond their conventional roles into a shared, pulsing time.
Their 2008 debut 'Holz' established them as a rising force in Switzerland's underground scene; 'X' (2015) was named among the year's best by The Wall Street Journal, and 'Rights' (2017) earned another year-end accolade from global sound project Cities and Memory.
With tours taking them from Canada's FIMAV and Tokyo's SuperDeluxe to Germany's Haldern Pop, South America and China, their live shows return to a central challenge: how to preserve the unexpected within meticulous control, while pushing sound to its fullest intensity.
In 2026, their 20th anniversary year, Schnellertollermeier return with a new album, 'Shadow Web.' Released on 13 November, the record will receive its world live premiere on this China tour.
