[gigs] Ennio Morricone, Allen Toussaint, Konono No.1

That would make for an interesting lineup but it’s actually three different shows. In early October New Orleans Legend Allent Toussaint is coming to Adelaide with the Legends of New Orleans Tour. I already liked his work, but after recently watching Treme I’m really excited about this one.

In late October, “Congotronics” originators Konono No.1 have been added to the bill for the Earth Station festival (i.e. Womad spinoff in Belair National Park). I’ve been wanting to see these guys for years, always had my fingers crossed for them to play at Womad.

The first music announcement for the Adelaide Festival next year is the great film composer Ennio Morricone (actually I played some of his work at my last Metro DJ set, I had no idea a visit to Adelaide was about to be announced).

Something else to watch out for is a new festival on the East Coast called Harvest which is run by the Soundwave people – some highlights so far are Portishead, Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. More to be announced, and maybe some interstate sideshows.
