Pervers/cité

9pm at Il Motore 179 Jean-Talon W. $10

New York based queer rapper and producer Le1f is gracing Montreal’s presence for the first time this August. He’s been described as the future of rap music by Das Racist, with whom he’s collaborated on track “Jungle Fever”. He has also collaborated with artists NGUZUNGUZU and Spank Rock. His music, which he describes as “ethereal and epic, but over hip-hop,” (Eye Weekly) builds on hip hop fundamentals while simultaneously drawing on influences as diverse as house, Afrobeat, and ghetto tech. Le1f‘s Kickstarter-funded first album Dark York is coming out summer 2011 and will surely blaze fierce new paths into the musical future. Le1f’s first show in Montreal will be THE show of the summer — don’t miss your chance to see an extraordinary performance from one of NY’s hottest up and coming MC’s. The show promises to be an amazing and rare experience – a gorgeously gritty explosion of sweat, glitter, and sex. On August 11, experience the music that “has been walking the bleeding edge of future and today” (lastnightsmixtape.com).

We also have Atelier Discussion Sex Work Queer at 6pm at Café coop Touski (2361 Ontario E) followed by a screening of Never on Sunday by Jules Dassin. This event is free.
