Last Show: Wednesday 25 th October 2017
Nao has hand selected each of these acts to perform and will be there on the night to introduce you to them and explain a little more about why she has hand picked each one – NAO will not be performing herself on this night.
"Think Andreya Triana's collaborations with Flying Lotus or Bonobo and you'd be close: this is dank yet wonderfully engrossing electronic soul."
Simon Harper, Clash’s Music editor (on Sipprell)
Sipprell
Sipprell is a South-London based singer-songwriter with a voice both sweet and soulful. Her mellow, R’n’B style songs fuse funky acoustic guitar with strings and at times electronics, made complete by her stunning, signature vocal trills. Sipprell’s fan-base is growing rapidly, and her new single ‘Trust Issues’ was released on February 17th. This is sure to be an intimate evening of captivating music at PizzaExpress Holborn.
Native Dancer
Native Dancer call themselves ‘sonic explorers.’ Their eclectic, genre blurring, boundary crossing sound certainly deserves this title and more. Formed in 2014 and combining a wealth of experience gigging on the UK jazz scene, Native Dancer set about creating their own sound which weaves together influences from hip-hop, trip-hop, jazz, R’n’B and electronic pop. Individually, the band have recorded with such names as Matthew Herbert, Liane La Havas, The Cinemaric Orchestra, Squarepusher and more. Their two EPs have been released to much critical acclaim, and vocalist Frida Mariama Toura has a voice to remember. Don’t miss the chance to see these fast-emerging, game-changing musicians live.
