Sault Of The Earth...


















Nuyorican Poet Saul Williams threw it down at The Southern Comfort Music Experience in San Diego's Petco Park Saturday, as punk-funk, glam-rock, alter ego Niggy Tardust.

With his Tar Spangled Band; CX KiDTRONiK on the MPC, Guitarist Davin Givhan and 3 Bean Stew's Kwame B. Pierce on Synths & Keys, shades of Afrika Bambaaata and Iggy Pop fused their indelible set as if Clinton's Mothership had landed again, some 30 years later.

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust! appeared as a web only release last year and was produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor. A mixture of electronic rock & roots, it is definitely a departure from the Hip-Hop styling of Saul's earlier work yet the knowledge in his amazing prose is still in the mix.

Their performance was enlightening.

Unique.

Passionate.

Necessary.
