On the surface the quiet port city of Gothenburg doesn't
seem like it would harbour much soul music but the dreamy rhythmical shifting
moody creature that is
Little Dragon is one of the most interesting, and
inspiring, sounds to drift over the Atlantic to our shores. As part two of the Adidas
Originals Live Performances Series brought to you by We-are-awesome Events, the
Swedish electro-soul foursome will be performing in Cape Town on 31 of August
at The Old Biscuit Mill and Johannesburg on 1 September at MOAD 2012. Close
friends since high school, Yukimi Nagano, Fredrik Wallin, Håkan Wirenstrand and
Erik Bodin have been making music together for most of their lives. In the
years since, many industry heavies have recognized the fire. They've earned
fans in Gorillaz (whose 2010 LP Plastic Beach includes two songs written and
performed with Little Dragon), Raphael Saadiq (who invited Nagano to sing on
his new Stone Rollin' album), Erykah Badu (who calls the band "one of my
favourites"), DJ Shadow and US heavyweight Big Boi. And it seems that the
rest of the world is starting to catch on to what tastemakers have known for
years. All ticket bookings through Webtickets (www.webtickets.co.za) Check out Little Dragon's music videos
