The O2

Eat Your Own Ears presents

RZA (Wu-Tang Clan) (+ Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip + Killa Kella (full band show)

Pioneering promoters Eat Your Own Ears (EYOE) have collaborated with indigO2 to bring a series of shows from 22 exciting genre defying artists.

Already the EYOE April residency at the indigO2 is causing a stir with the line-up boasting: the prolific British MC Lethal Bizzle; lo tech modern electronic dance act Holy Fuck, Hip-hop legend RZA from the Wu Tang Clan and the first UK performance from elegant pop songwriting disco maestro Kelley Polar.

Eat Your Own Ears promoter Tom Baker said “It’s a diverse and cutting edge line-up, with some of the artists performing in London for the first time. It’s really exciting to get all of these artists to take part in this series at the indigO2."

Eat Your Own Ears is renowned for recognising new and emerging talent before they become household names, founding the careers of artists such as Danger Mouse (aka Gnarls Barkley), Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs and Mercury Award winning artists Franz Ferdinand. EYOE have a full grasp on the music industry, covering musical enterprises from across the globe.

Each night will be a mash up of polar musical genres, pushing the boundaries of a conventional night of live music. With two more nights yet to be announced this is sure to be the most innovative week of live music in 2008!
