The Carps Perform Live in New York City for CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival
Toronto, Ontario -- The Carps are happy to announce five live performances in New York City during the upcoming CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival. The Toronto-based duo will be performing on:
October 21st at The Blender Theatre
October 22nd at 205 Christie
October 23rd at The Studio at Webster Hall
October 24th at Le Royale
October 25th at Brooklyn Vegan party
These exciting dates will see The Carps sharing stages with the Cool Kids, Shout Out Out Out, and other internationally-renowned acts.
Comprised of drummer/vocalist Jahmal Tonge and keyboardist/bassist Neil White, The Carps are known for their mash-up of different genres, artfully fusing elements of punk rock, soul, hip hop, and soca. The duo's repertoire includes two releases, The Young & Passionate Days of Carpedia (2007) and Waves & Shambles (2008), and a recent European tour with acclaimed hip hop group the Cool Kids.
The Carps' energetic live show is not to be missed! According to RCRD LBL's Faith-Ann Young,
"The Carps have a rush of rigorous, infectious urgency to their music, led by brash electro beats and raw punk guitar and rhythm cycles. Singer Jahmal Tonge's R & B-esque vocals fluctuate from wails, punk screams to speak-rap rants. In "All the Damn Kids", he channels Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, screeching "RAISE YOUR FLAG" on repeat. No matter what country, what flag- he and Neil White are quite convincing at getting us to partake in their battle cry, especially if it's on a dancefloor."
