Tricky

Tricky + Wild Beasts + Skream ENGLAND LONDON  •  Barbican Hall  •  6 October 2008   Rediscovering his Bristolian roots on his latest album Knowle West Boy (Domino Records) the original Tricky Kid returns to play his first London show in over five years. Knowle West Boy sees Tricky explore the musical influences of his childhood shaping and filtering them into the here and now. The resultant mix redefines his current status as an outsider superstar and the outsider’s homeboy. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain, particularly in his fusion of rock and hip hop, high art and pop culture. His debut album Maxinquaye was nominated for the Mercury Prize and voted Album of the Year by NME Magazine.
