Last.fm will be curating the night of the 14th of August at Cargo, featuring none other than the acoustic guitar and tender singing of Finian Greenhall, a.k.a Fink (Ninja Tune), singing songs from his brand new album “Sort of Revolution”.
Fink will be playing at 10pm, sharing stage with Charlene Soraia, the Londoner PENS, Berliner dubstepper’s JazZstepPa and the Last.fm DJ Team. Read our interview with Fink after the video:

Here you have our Love & Hate quiz by Fink:
♥ When you first wake up in the morning, what’s the first song or sound you most like to hear?
Anything by John Lee Hooker, something clean and pure and bit jaded. What’s the noise that annoys you the most in the whole wide world?
That neighbour, who seems to live everywhere in the UK, who seems to spend every single morning every weekend using some kind of metal saw.
♥ Which are your top 5 bands at the moment?
The Horrors
The Joy Formidable
The Boxer Rebellion
Fever Ray
Florence And The MachineTell us one song you hate but can’t get out of your head because the lyrics keep on coming back to you.
Metronomy – “Holiday” – I don’t hate this song, I love this song, but it’s a bit like Stockholm Syndrome where the hostage starts to empathise with the Kidnapper… also, I’m in Berlin and Paris a lot…♥ What is the weirdest place you would like to perform in and why?
I would like to play at Montreal Jazz festival. I think Montreal is cool, and although we have nothing to do with jazz, I’d like for me and the boys to go over there and tonk them hard in the face with some real music with some balls… What concert would you like to forget the most and why?
St. Tropez, 06, The Plage De Rock festival… in the middle of a real Tornado (we were in the papers the next day) the entire stage and light rig was blown over – we rescued a couple of monitors and our kit, narrowly escaped un-electrocuted and set up in the café bar and did the gig very wet and very drunk (it even made youtube) – I called our manager to, erm, outline the scenario and he told us to “stop moaning and build some memories…”♥ What do you enjoy the most about playing in a band?
Last week we played a festival in Biarritz, cute surf chicks everywhere, we smacked a great gig, then drank free beers and smoked free weed on the roof of the Radisson hotel by the pool, and… we got paid for it! I love that shit! When you do a good gig the feeling is great… to know that you would have paid to see you is a great feeling – not all gigs are like that, but the more you play the more you yearn to get onstage and push it…
