The band Altin G\\xfcn is based in the Netherlands but they\\u2019ve gained global attention \\u2013 and a Grammy nomination \\u2013 for their psychedelic, glam rock and disco-tinged versions of songs from Turkey in the 1970s. So, in the 70s the folk rock movement racing through the British Isles made its way to Anatolia, inspiring young Turkish musicians to recast old Turkish folk songs with electric guitars, synthesisers and the like. Forty years later, \\xa0Altin Gun has been resurrecting the creativity and the energy of this corner of the music world, with their own hi-octane, dance-ready arrangements. Their latest album is called Ask, and they play new tunes, in-studio.\\xa0AND they play at Brooklyn Steel on Monday, July 31.\\xa0
