When we began to release the music of William Onyeabor<\/a>, we did not know that he\u2019d never played a show in his entire life – though we did know he probably had no interest in doing it now. So, we put together a band to play his music live. It was never intended to compete with his original work<\/span>, but meant to share his music in a live setting. After 20 shows around the world, we found it so enjoyable and special that we wanted to document the group in a studio. So after playing at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival<\/a>\u00a0in the early summer of 2015, we went into the beautiful Blackbird Studio<\/strong>, in Nashville, Tennessee . Two years later, we have these recordings that we would like to share with you all.<\/p>\n Featured on this album: Jamie Lidell<\/a>, Alexis Taylor<\/a> (Hot Chip), Luke Jenner<\/a> (The Rapture), Charles Lloyd<\/a>, Money Mark<\/a> (Beastie Boys), Pat Mahoney<\/a> (LCD Soundsystem), Ahmed Gallab<\/a> (Sinkane), Jason Trammell, Ish Montgomery, Johnny Lamm, Jas Walton<\/a> & Jordan McLean<\/a> (Antibalas), Lekan Babalola, Kofo the Wonderman<\/a>, Felicia Douglas, & Amanda Khiri. Big thanks to all those who have been part of this wonderful project! This will only be available in stores for\u00a0Record Store Day\u00a02017<\/a>, 4\/22.<\/p>\n
\nTogether with music director Ahmed Gallab of Sinkane<\/a>, we formed \u201cThe Atomic Bomb! Band\u201d<\/strong>, which over two years came to feature nearly\u00a0fifty\u00a0amazing musical guests and collaborators. For each show we did, we would ask different\u00a0musicians to join, always trying to make it a little different, or a little more special for where we happened to be.<\/p>\n
