See us live! Uncensored Interview has rolled up our sleeves, made a few phone calls and put together a showcase of superb talent for your eyes and ears. As part of The L Magazine’s Northside Festival, check out Ólöf Arnalds, François Virot, Lisa Li-Lund, Sharon Van Etten and Ivana XL at Union Pool in Brooklyn on June 11.
UPDATE: Due to complications with travel arrangements, François Virot will not be performing at The Speakeasy.
Ólöf Arnalds, an accomplished figure in Iceland, is gracing our stage with her much-praised voice. It ain’t all hype, either. Ólöf has worked with múm, Mugison and Skúli Sverrisson, and performed with Sigur Rós and Björk. Should you fall in love, you can catch her again the next day at BrooklynVegan’s showcase.
François Virot and Lisa Li-Lund, our French representatives on the bill, are equally talented musicians with fans at NPR Music and Urban Outfitters, respectively. François took a folksy stab at Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock Life,” and you may know Lisa from her sweet Justin Timberlake cover.
Ivana XL is an Electric Lady Studios vet, and is currently working with Daniel Chen, pianist and songwriter for Nicole Atkins & The Sea and Mike Doughty. Sharon Van Etten recently covered Morrissey’s “The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get” for a Moz-lovin’ compilation produced by our friend The Music Slut. She’s also playing a free showcase at Trophy Bar on June 13 courtesy of Hooves on the Turf.
A limited number of Northside badges will be accepted, but it’s probably a good idea to get advance tickets here. UI and Dissentertainment are proud of this lineup and hope to see you there!
