Lee “Scratch” Perry and SubAtomic Soundsystem, Mindz of a Different Kind + DJ Notion
August 19, 2016 @ 9:00 pm - 2:00 am
$22**Eccentric producer and Grammy winning reggae & dub artist “Lee “Scratch” Perry” Celebrates His 80th Year on Earth**
The original “Upsetter” returns to the Flamingo Cantina with New York City’s Subatomic Sound in tow. If you’ve never seen Lee Scratch, the father of dub, at Flamingo you’re in for a treat. Always fully costumed (often in outfits handmade by Angela, the owner of Flamingo) and full of attitude, Lee Scratch Perry is not to be missed. They are *always* some of our very favorite shows.
On his 80th birthday tour, Lee “Scratch” Perry will perform the Super Ape album for its 40th anniversary in its entirety with NYC’s Subatomic Sound System, his unique hybrid band of new school electronics and veteran Jamaican musicians from Perry’s Black Ark era recordings. http://bit.ly/LSPLiveApeVids
They will also perform brand new music like their latest single “Black Ark Vampires” and other classics from Perry’s work with the likes of Bob Marley & Max Romeo. Lee “Scratch” Perry & Subatomic Sound System’s new release “Black Ark Vampires” is currently topping charts
