She’s a filmmaker, fashion/textile designer, musician, performer, philanthropist, and activist. Tell me you don’t know who M.I.A. is. Ok don’t, just watch this:
Not only will she be performing in our lovely city, she will be doing so VERY soon (October 17) at the Showbox (Market). That means all you youngsters will be able to attend, and we know you love that!
Ok, so there is a TON of hype around M.I.A., which is completely apt and well deserved. However, there is something of an extra treat at this upcoming show. I think you know what I am talking about. A certain woman who can spit like no other will be opening for M.I.A. She had a surprise hit in 2006 with “Shake it to the Ground” that is AMAZEBALLS. Seriously? RYE RYE!!!!!!!
So not only was that song totally enough to carry an entire performance, there is a live version on youtube that cuts into a delicious remix at about 1m16s. Check it:
Can you even HANDLE that? It’s okay, you can hit “replay.” No judgement.
