GOTW - Olympic Lifts @ Auntie Annies, Friday 27 May
Since I got to briefly join them on tour with my faves , I've been a massive fan of hip hop allstars . Daft party music, bitta hip hop, bitta funk and soul, fun times - what's not to like folks?!Ìý

Anyway, after a resonably lengthy hibernation period, they're back and set to record what will be their third album live at Auntie Annies. As in, what happens onstage in Belfast on Friday is what they'll be stuck with as their third LP for the rest of their lives. Considering their shows have, in the past, been a little hectic, is this a good idea? To illustrate the unpredictable nature of what they do, I asked guitarist and MC Big Show what's the daftest thing has ever happened onstage at an OL show.
"During an aborive show somewhere in Germany with the PA exploding and parts of the stage collapsing, The Pylon kept the 300 strong crowd entertained during rush repairs by making a general **** of himself, culminating in the quote - 'who wants to see me pour ANOTHER two litres of water over myself?'"
Big Show gave me a few other examples, none of which are bloggable I'm afraid. Children reading and all that. Still though, with a full live band (including brass section) and a bag of new tunes to unleash, what could possibly go wrong? Come to Auntie Annies, Belfast this Friday night and I'll guess you'll find out.
