Despite it being -6C in Minnesota, the brilliant American rapper Astronautalis took the time to step outside into the bitter cold to freestyle exclusively for Esquire Middle East about his January 12th gig in Dubai.
Returning to Bad House Party at Casa Latina (Ibis Hotel, Al Barsha) after a legengary UAE-debut gig in 2015, the Florida-native seemingly cannot wait to swap out grey skies and snow for sun, sand and a small bar full of Dubai’s growing indie music fans.
The genre-mashing artist brings stripped-back grooves, rock riffs and endless energy to his gigs regardless of size, and having unanimously won over the UAE crowds last time out, the gig on January 12th will likely be something rather special.
Doors open at 9pm. Limited tickets Dh100 on the door. See below for more of Astronautalis’ work. Learn them quickly.
