There was a great turnout this last weekend for Paradox Mesmer's benefit for famine relief at The Velvet. The proceeds are going to two charities - Oxfam and UNICEF. I was lucky enough to do two sets for the cause on Saturday night. Taking an album of Nigerian pop music from the 70's as my inspiration, I played one set of African music and then, later on, played some of my favorite indie tracks from the last year or so.
