The Agitator plays the Barfly tonight
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 1 December 2010
I saw The Agitator supporting Marnie Stern the other night and he was very good. Singing with only the backing of two drummers, his sound is surprisingly engaging, aided by his impressive stage presence and vocal skills.
Last night he performed an impromptu gig for students staging a sit-in at UCL as they came to the end of their first week of occupation. The Agitator told CMU beforehand: “I’m extremely pleased and excited to see the energy and activism of these student protestors. We’re witnessing an historic shift in British politics. The radicalisation of the young generation against the tuition fees is already expanding to oppose not only the unjustifiable police tactics they’ve faced, but also the coming austerity and the fact that they’ve had their futures gambled away. This is just the beginning of something very big. I’m very proud to join with them and perform for them”.
Tonight he plays a more traditional gig venue, The Barfly in Camden. To get you in the mood, here’s the video for his latest single, ‘Give Me All That You Got’:youtu.be/DV_fAb51YvE
