[from London, UK] this band was a
breath of fresh air after rock overload -
tiny black boy with polo shirt and giant smile singing – another black boy
with dreads, gapped teeth, and ambercrombie-style clothes on ??? – silly white
boy with plastic animals glued to his t-shirt and plastic sunglasses on the
keyboard – they were electronic hipsters interlaced with warm authentic African
touches – the singer was all positivity and would switch from African style
hymns to reggae to pure pop – the first song sampled M.I.A. and I would say
their sound is fairly comparable to hers – perhaps the best part of the band
were the two black female dancers in rainbow-colored clothing – one was skinny
but the big girl had all the moves and no shame – the crowd was all young
awkward white hipster kids and, at one point, the big girl put her hands on the
hips of a shy white girl in the front and made her move them – we agreed that
there’s something unsatisfying about a group without a single musician (Photo courtesy of https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-very-best-3-1307818/page/3121)
