Ty, Taylor McFerrin and DJ Misbehaviour
Sunday, April 13 2008
Knitting Factory, New York NY



event description
Ty is one of UK Black music’s true innovators and popularisers. He’s been making music and pushing boundaries for the last 10 years. With 3 albums, a Mercury Music nomination and countless guest appearances under his belt with the likes of Tony Allen, De La Soul, Damon Albarn, Terri Walker, Scratch Perverts, Afro Reggae and Estelle. A legend in the making.

Ty has long been involved in the spoken word/poetry scene, as well as running workshops in schools and beyond since his pivotal involvement in the mid-90s Ghetto Grammar organisation. Recently performing and hosting Book Slam in West London.

Probably best known for his live shows, Ty has toured all over the world, everywhere from New York to New Zealand and has established a strong fanbase wherever he goes.

A self-confessed myspace junkie with a quarter of a million hits and over 30,000 friends. TY’s a thoughtful, political [appeared on BBC 2’s Daily Politics Show in Jan 2008] spokesperson, a man of the people, a producer, musician, MC and poet with a killer sense of humour.

Meanwhile, Taylor McFerrin brings charismatic future hip-hop to the stage, fusing beatbox skills with the Motown sounds of his recent EP Broken Vibes. On the decks, queen-of-the-club DJ Misbehaviour reps for the ladies, turning the tables on the Knit with her "Rather Unique" Brit-hop mixes and dance-party joints.

"[Ty] makes mainstream American hip hop sound as formulaic and vacuous as it really is" -- The Times, 4/5
