This week on the Yellow Brit Road, Decolonise fest, live music, Peel sessions and more!
We heard new albums from Jehnny Beth and the Fratellis, whose album Half Drunk Under A Full Moon is out in October.
Decolonise Fest, a music festival in London \"by and for punks of colour\", ran its 2020 edition online with performances that can be found on their Twitter and Bandcamp. We listened to DeLila Black, who played the festival this year, and from 2017, Art Trip and the Static Sound's unique afropunk sounds, and London pop punk feminist trio The Tuts.
We had some live music from British multi-instrumentalist Georgia, performing at SXSW festival in 2019, and digging through the archives for some classic John Peel sessions from the 90s by PJ Harvey and Mogwai.
We had dance folk from Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Cinnamon, post-punk music from Northern Irish band Gender Chores, and a submission from Sunderland's Brass Monkey! Submissions can be sent in to yellowbritroad@gmail.com or through Twitter to @YellowBritCFRC
This week's Masala Chai was graciously provided by Mozambique's influential alternative band 340ml, and Kingston's very own The Wilderness. Listen to the Kingston Live! podcast on kingstonlive.ca.
