You heard that correctly brothers and sisters! In just a fortnight, me and DJ Jack Nimble will be returning to the arena of LIVE after a three month sabbatical to play righteous jams and party like it’s 2011. WHICH IT IS!

Also playing are Barbarossa, The Melting Ice Caps and my buddy POLARBEAR!

AND!

It’s for CHARITY!

DAMN HOMIE YOU’D BE A DUCK TO MISS THIS!

Let me hand the mike over to the organisers (who didn’t ask me to play until after they’d made the flyer or something, hence me not being on it, yeah right nice excuse etc.):

On Wednesday October the 19th 2011 Music Like Dirt is organising a charity concert as part of Oxfam’s month long “Oxjam Festival“.  All proceeds from the night will go to help Oxfam’s work and some of my favourite bands and musicians have kindly agreed to play. There are styles to suit all tastes, from indie to pop, to hip-hop to electronic soul…So great music, great cause… its a win win!

Ahead of his 11 night run at Camden’s Roundhouse, the highly acclaimed PolarBear will be bringing his beguiling mix of spoken word and hip hop to Walthamstow.  Barbarossa aka James Mathe performed a session for Music Like Dirt earlier in the year, and his gorgeous track “Stones” recently featured in US Series “How I Met Your Mother“.  Blessed with a gorgeous voice and a knack for tying lovely melodies to melancholic lo-fi electronics, he’ll be playing a stripped down set. One not to miss.
Also on the bill are MLD favourites, The Melting Ice Caps with tales of love, loss and betrayal courtesy of lead singer David Shah. Reminiscent of the great English lyricists, Heaton, Tennant, Morrissey… able to craft intelligent, witty lyrics but with a slice of pop to embed them in your brain.

Knitting it all together will be the one man multimedia empire Akira The Don who’ll be performing as well as hosting the evening.
