CMU Approved
Approved: Bonjay (TGE Gig Previews 2011)
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 4 May 2011
In the run up to this year’s Great Escape, which takes place in venues across Brighton from 12-14 May, we’ll be previewing some of our favourite artists who are playing the festival this year.
And today we’ve selected Canadian dancehall pop duo Bonjay, who, having recently signed to UK indie label One Bird Records, will be over in the UK promoting their debut single for the label, the double A-side ‘Creepin/Stumble‘, which is due out on 6 Jun. As well as shows in London the same week, they will be playing two shows on Saturday at The Great Escape, downstairs at Komedia at 2pm and then at 7.45pm in the basement of the Queens Hotel.
We’re particularly excited about seeing this pair play, because inside our brains their gigs look amazing. No pressure. But on record vocalist Alanna Stuart’s voice is enough to send us into some kind of dance-inducing trance. Then there’s Ian ‘Pho’ Swain’s production, which blends dancehall, pop and many other electronic styles to create really refreshing music.
To get into Bonjay’s shows, plus all the other hundreds of panels, sessions, parties and gigs taking place at The Great Escape this year, get your delegates pass from escapegreat.com.
