Café Oto review Rate it

This large, open space, which opened in 2008 and is tucked away down a side street behind Kingsland High Street, provides a fine home for a wide range of experimental music - including free improv - that exists well outside the mainstream. Operating as a relaxed, light and airy café during the day and a live music space in the evenings - pretty much seven days a week - it's supported by leftfield music mag The Wire, which also programmes many of the events. There's a strong emphasis on the more out-there of underground Japanese artists, but you can expect to encounter everything from Norwegian improv/free jazz/psych-rock power trio Bushmen's Revenge to a talk by minimalist composer Terry Riley.
