Saint Abdullah, Al-Mutreb Abul-Loul, DJ GAWAD ++ at Moor Beer Co
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"The best label in the Middle East right now finally lands on these shores, strengthening their Avon connects with a scuzzy flush of outsider muzack for the disenfranchised. Saint Abdullah brings their warped experimental dreadscapes alongside Kinlaw & Franco Franco’s worldbuilding cybernetic trap, misunderstood lounge punk genius Abul-Loul and Palestine x Memphis rap jester DJ Gawad.

SAINT ABDULLAH
AL-MUTREB ABUL-LOUL & CHEREE TRUE
KINLAW & FRANCO FRANCO
AMBULANCE VS AMBULANCE
Hosted by DJ GAWAD

SAINT ABDULLAH: Essential Iranian-Canadian project whose collages of field recordings, saturated concrète, free jazz & scuzzed rhythms take you through the looking glass of Muslim diasporic experience, politics & memory

AL-MUTREB ABUL-LOUL & CHEREE TRUE: All the way from Amman, Al-Mutreb Abul-Loul (aka Abdel Ja7eem Hafez) takes the stage for the first and final time, joined by DBL collaborator Cheree True, to bid farewell to a decade-long musical journey

KINLAW & FRANCO FRANCO: Incendiary cybernetic-industrial-rap duo, bruising stages across Europe since 2018 & back in Avon for a first show in a while with a few carefully selected uplifting melodies and a new LP brewing for DBL later this year

AMBULANCE VS AMBULANCE: Psychotropic lamentations from Jeffrey Lee Hearse (Bokeh Versions) & Robin Stewart (TTT, No Corner), previewing materials from their own forthcoming DBL release

+ DJ GAWAD: Your host for the night; a mysterious Arab prodigy with many fingers on the pulse of Memphis rap and the Levantine underground, as heard on last autumn’s urgent mixtape ‘Volume 1’

Doors at 7pm
first act on pretty soon after
