show recap: theophilus london (december 3, 2010)


photo credit: weareyouneak

I haven’t had the best luck seeing Theophilus London. The first time I had ever seen him perform was during the 2009 SXSW, having only heard a few songs prior to the performance. Immediately, I was won over and began following him closely. After having to miss the Houston stop of A-Trak’s 10000 lb Hamburger Tour, he’s yet to come by Houston.

This past SXSW, I had to miss his set due to unforeseen circumstances, which pretty much sucked. So right off the bat, I want to thank Lunaface and Hater Magazine for bringing this dude back to Houston. It’s good to know that a. we can still get great shows and b. pack them with people so they come back. As an added bonus, local upstarts Brandon West and The Black Hats, along with Fat Tony were both slated to open the show.

Hit the jump for the recap, as well as five videos from Theophilus’ set, including two new songs.

not necessarily the best performance, but it’s cool to see theo and his crew of two fuck around in a forest, performing one of the best songs i’ve heard in years. i’m pretty sure i listen to ‘humdrum’ on average of twice a day for the past 6 months. via FADER.

this charming mixtape was my mixtape of 2009.
“humdrum town” was one of my favorite songs of the year.

now, theophilus drops the visuals, and pays homage (accidentally, purposely?) to the videos of the 90s with a seemingly low budget singalong type video. as always, mr. london is flyer than the rest of em’ and drops a video of worthy caliber. i think it’s OK to speak for all of the bears when i say theo’s debut will be stellar if he keeps on.

if you forgot or missed it, be sure to grab the track from green label sound.

theophilus london – humdrum town (2009)

i’ve been so ridiculously excited about getting some new theophilus since he released the artwork and announced this single over the past week. released with green label sound, “humdrum town” has the signature eurocentric blend of electro-pop and hip-hop london’s become known for, but what i’m loving is how much more refined he sounds since releasing the original version of the track on this charming mixtape. i know we hype a lot of artists, but this is definitely one you should listen up on. hit the cut for video of a recent interview theophilus did with MESH culture magazine.
