(The Real) Tuesday Weld makes music that sounds something like the bastard child of 1930's cabaret, 1960's French New Wave cool, and 1990's British electronica. Even better are his live performances, backed by a full band replete with laptop samplers and a clarinet. Weld is a London-based performer, so U.S. dates are extremely rare, but tonight he'll be playing a free show in downtown Los Angeles. I was lucky enough to catch a mini-set he did last night at a private event, and enjoyed it so much that I'll be going back to see the full performance tonight.
I've put together a quick muxtape mix of his songs for those who still need convincing. No need to thank me.
Opening for Weld will be Lal Meri, an act described in the press material as "a blend of jazz, East-Indian vocals, trip hop with world music, and electronica."
