Klubb Impuls’ second concert night of the season invites the contemporary KRISE, led by Kristian Enkerud Lien, to the stage.

/// Klubb impuls since 2015
Klubb Impuls is run through the non-profit cultural association PULS, which was founded in 2014 by a group of young musicians who in various ways encountered and became hooked on the fantastic versatility and playfulness of jazz. When they committed to creating an inviting space for the audience to take part in, a fire was ignited to create a new club that actively works to become a place where audiences in an inclusive and welcoming environment can encounter exciting jazz and improvisational music and that also specifically targets against young people. A long audience work laid the foundation for inviting a younger audience to take part in a music that may not be close to hands for everyone.
The first concert took place in 2015 at Frilagret in Gothenburg and since then has mainly been arranged at Kulturhus. This is because the cultural center is everyone's house; a place for all ages; and where the focus is on culture and meetings!
/// Concert promoters
In 2023, the club is run by organizers Matilda Andersson and Sara Alexandersson. Even if the management only consists of these two, there are of course more people who are involved and cooperate for the implementation of the concerts and the business in general. The organizing group is constantly changing and has thereby enabled a changing program with many different artists and expressions from Sweden and internationally. Klubb Impuls is a place to discover new things!

/// Are you interested in what goes on behind the scenes?
We like to be transparent in our booking work and are happy to receive questions about this. We want to make it easy for musicians to search for gigs. We love to talk about our business when there is interest in knowing more. Sometimes we hold lectures about what it's like to be an organizer and sometimes we have open meetings where we can get together and talk about the music industry. We are also open to more people wanting to be involved in our activities in some way. You are always welcome to get in touch!

FAQ
-

-
We arrange three events per season on the first Thursday of the month. Often Oct-Nov-Dec and March-April-May.

The double concert concept means that we present two different bands in one evening. While other organizers often have one band per night that plays two sets with a break, we choose to present two bands that each play a set of about 45 minutes. We build a contrasting music experience that we hope makes every visitor go home a richer experience.
