London-based rap enigma Onoe Caponoe is gearing up to bring his signature, psychedelic live energy to a stage near you in celebration of his latest album ‘Concrete Fantasia’ across three intimate live shows in the UK.
Psychedelic hip hop influenced by the ethereal space funk of Funkadelic and Sun Ra, the stripped back rawness of punk rock and the unpredictable nature of psychedelic rock.
According to The Wire, “Onoe Caponoe has been meandering through fevered dioramas fusing Lewis Carroll and George Clinton with hazy abandon, riding his own wave oblivious in the expectation his audience will catch up. His latest album ‘Concrete Fantasia’ feels like an artist out of his shell demanding attention, facing up to his demons, capturing the manic psychedelic energy of his live shows, progressing from purveyor of interesting diversions into enlightened tour guide for a better, or at least more colorful, sequence of realities.”
