M.I.A. and Justine Frischmann are pictured here at the latter’s wedding to Ian Faloona. Their friendship began professionally when M.I.A. became Elastica’s visual director. M.I.A.’s live debut occurred at a Peaches concert while on tour with Elastica, and it was Frischmann who encouraged her to experiment with the Roland 505 drum machine that would shape the sound of M.I.A.’s early records. This show focuses on the influences and music of these two artists. Featuring the music of X-Ray Spex, Ciara, Suicide, The Fall and more.
Sounds from the picture palace
Every picture tells a story… and for each episode of Sounds from the Picture Palace, presenters Matthew Bowen and Tom Morris hand-pick a photograph as their starting point before drawing on some of the musical connections that can be made from that image. The tracks selected form an eclectic mix of genres, obscure gems, lost classics and pop hits.
