Mark Stewart And The Maffia + Tackhead + Adrian Sherwood

Ex-Pop Group vocalist Stewart returns with his Tackhead-powered Maffia, having most recently proved PG's mettle and relevance with a terrific 2010 New Year's eve support to Sonic Youth. Here, it's his Maffia – back for more furious, conspiracy-theoried ranting, illbient noisescapes and dark dub-rock, which makes for a teeth-rattling live experience. Expect to hear the thrilling likes of 'Learning to Cope with Cowardice' from the man venerated Tricky, Daddy G and Nick Cave, among others. Dubby and thrillingly distorted sounds in support from the On-U Sound crew, here celebrating their thirtieth anniversary.
