Wed 8 June @ Scala

Upstaging the wonderful Dirty Projectors is difficult to do. When Merill Garbus, the one woman force-of-nature behind tUnE-YaRdS, opened for the band back in 2009 she didn’t just outshine them – she repeatedly blew them off stage with her intense, loop-driven solo performances. Since then, Garubs’s live show has expanded to include a backing band touting two saxophonists (amongst others), and her reputation has increased similarly. The loops are still there, but now hers is a fuller, more theatrical performance, driven by her incredible voice. tUne-YaRdS’s show at Scala, currently their only London date in support of their universally-lauded second album W h o k i l l, promises to be the hottest ticket in town, so don’t miss out.
