Stop Time
A gig held at The Tobacco Factory on Saturday 2nd March. The event starts at 20:00.
Mike Dennis is a classically-trained violinist and poet whose boyhood love of Run DMC, Beastie Boys and Gangstarr led him to create a unique kind of string-heavy hip hop music he refers to as Violinica.
“Stop Time is the culmination of four years of writing about things that I feel strongly about and things that make me laugh. It’s the first album I’ve made that I don’t think I’ve rushed. We are launching this album in the portentous surroundings of The Spielman, where you will hear every intended detail, every hand-selected loop and instrumental line and every collaborator I can pin down for the night. And a rapping, looping violinist.”
In support is Potter, who brings achingly poignant musicianship contained within his imaginative, folky shell.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
