ARISTOPHANES at XO STATE (Music)
February 23, 2017 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT
$25.50 – $30
Aristophanes is a Taipei based artist, whose striking verbal wordplay, poetry, and forward thinking delivery has seen her rise to be at the very forefront of the new sounds emerging of the new Taiwan.
Fusing elements of Hip-Hop, Slam Poetry, Jazz, Soul and Electronica, her music has been featured by international press including The Fader, Rolling Stone, VICE, and has received radio play on Zane Lowe’s show on Beats 1, BBC Radio 1, KCRW, and Triple J. Her collaboration track with Grimes “SCREAM” featured on many critics choice LP album of the year for 2015, Art Angels, released on seminal UK indie label 4AD. Aristophanes has performed at international music festivals including Coachella—becoming the first Taiwanese artist to do so—SXSW, and Laneway.
Aristophanes is currently working on her debut LP, inspired by the timeless Stanley Kubrick directed Sci-fi, 2001 : A Space Odyssey, with production from Will Butler of Arcade Fire and Grammy award winning producer, David Kahne.
