FEATURING
ROB SONIC AND DJ BIG WIZ
Indie-rap surrealist
Aesop Rock announces Australian tour dates with Olympia based singer/songwriter
Kimya Dawson. "A Night with Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson" features a
solo acoustic set by Kimya Dawson, Aesop Rock's set with Rob Sonic and DJ Big
Wiz- which features Aesop solo material as well as music from Hail Mary Mallon-
the new group featuring Aesop, Rob and Wiz, and also, a set with Aesop and Kimya
together, who are currently collaborating on a new album. Kimya also has a new
album "Thunder Thighs" coming out in October.
Aesop
and Kimya's first performance together was a free in-store at artist Alex Pardee's
Zero Friends pop up shop in Los Angeles January 29, 2011. Their second show was
a February 25, 2011- a sold out Noise Pop show at Great American Music Hall. Artists
Jeremy Fish and Alex Paree designed the stage, assembling two 15ft walls of hand
painted boxes. The artists, along with Aesop, Kimya, Rob and Wiz, threw all of
the boxes to the fans at the end of the show.
Now comes a
chance to witness this weaving tapestry of wordplay, intimate folk jam and arty
hip-hop shebang... one party of collusion.
