You’ve got to give credit to any guy who’s willing to attempt a Katy Perry cover – especially when the song is “I Kissed A Girl” and that guy happens to be a proud homosexual and from Israel. So hats off to IVRI LIDER (ISR), who will hopefully perform said cover at his show on Sunday 28th February. Don’t let the connection to the pop diva fool you though, Ivri’s music is melodic, powerful and from the heart. Tickets are now on sale.
Direct from Brooklyn New York, the ANTIBALAS AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA are heading to Oz for what will be their first down under. The band encompasses a massive 12 current members, which is why it’s no surprise that these boys sure do know how to raise afrobeat sounds to a spiritual plane. With a sound foundered by Nigerian legend Fela Kuti, the band is influenced by jazz, 70s psychedelic, funk, dub, and traditional drumming from Cuba and West Africa.
