Akira The Don ft Jack Nimble, Big Narstie, Marvin & Shizzio - Back In The Day (Remix)
BOOYA!
That up there's the video. It rules. SHAME ABOUT THE QUALITY YOUTUBE! I did have it up on Blip, but the non WMV was out of synch for some reason.
Neon Neon were joined by Romeo Stoddart and Angela Gannon of The Magic Numbers last night (March 20) for their live performance in Room Two of the Fabric nightclub in London.
The band, comprised of the main songwriting duo of Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip, included Cate Le Bon playing various instruments, and saw London solo artist Akira The Don come onstage to provide vocals for ’Sweat Shop’.
The band played songs from their new album ’Stainless Style’, including ’I Lust U’ and ’Belfast’, with the aforementioned members of The Magic Numbers providing vocals for set closer ’Stainless Style’.
Cheers for having me Neon Neon! It was very random, and I had a lovely time. The Magic Numbers people were very nice too.
OK. Here’s the jacked-video for my remix of Gonzales’ Working Together. Enjoyo!
