The Whole 9 Yard Party.
July 21, 2009
We love our yard parties; a lame excuse to put an absolute stonker of a line up in the middle of the week, for no good reason other than it’s summer and we, at Cargo, feel the good people of London need pop music and candyfloss to make their lives better.
And as always with Cargo there’s extras at no hidden cost, in fact no ruddy cost at all, makes you wonder what Cargo gets out of all of this, right?. Well what we get out of it is the collective look on all your collective mugs at the end of the day when your mum or dad comes to pick you up and we tell them that you’ve been “as good as gold” and that you can “come round anytime”, even if you have been that kid that’s broken the family heirloom, jumped on the sofa in the “posh” sittingroom and shat yourself in the kitchen all in the space of an afternoon…
So this time round there’s free candyfloss, free live art, free entry and discount booze… oh and one hell of a live line up, including…
A rare tamer of the beast that is pop music. Easy to do, hard to do this well (without turning into Jamie Lidell or Jamiroquai.)
We loved her when she was Mpho Skeef, she’s dropped the last name and dropped one hell of an album too. Plus anyone who covers Kate Bush as well as this gets the key to Cargo anytime.
A cut above electro-pop from three girls and a guy. Defying you not dance, bringing you to boogie climax. Their recent collab with Groove Armada and accompanying video is intriguing from every angle…
