Melt Yourself Down/James Chance

Avant-funk livewire James Chance – who was a big deal on the New York no wave scene in the late ’70s – plays a rare London show, collaborating (as part of the Illuminations series) with five-piece groove machine Melt Yourself Down. Their stomping, funked-up stew of jazz, Afrobeat and post-punk should be the perfect backing for Chance's frenzied fronting – don't miss this one.
