A movement, a movie, and now... a tour! From an
Afro-Punk email (yeah, I'm on their mailing list):
Seeing Saul Williams perform is believing!
Described as a boundary-smashing 'unclassifiable hybrid of Afro-Punk, metal, industrial music' and hip-hop, this is gonna be one to remember. Check out the videos of his performance and interview at the 2009 Afro-Punk Festival to get a taste of what you can expect at "The Niggy Tardust Experience" tour in a city near you!
I rented the Afro-Punk documentary from Netflix a couple years ago and have been enthralled ever since. And Saul Williams is heading the tour! I don't like too many people's attempts at poetry, but Saul Williams I dig--he's sort of like the new school Gil Scott-Heron to me, setting his words to beats.
Needless to say, I'm hella excited for this show! They're coming to DC November 1 @
The Black Cat.
Watch the movie if you haven't already. Really, you need it in your life.
