I’d originally thought that The Noisettes were going to do a night time show, which would’ve been hot. If the rumors are true, then that’s a bummer that they had visa problems. Kind of an unfortuate sign o’ the times that it seems like it’s getting tougher for foreign artists to gain entry to the US.

It’s really great to know that the work that I’m doing is having positive ripple effects out there in the world. Re: Afropunk. Stay tuned for some photos and videos from some of the happenings this past weekend. Please give my best to Bob when you talk to him.

Warm regards.

just a note to say thankyou for all you do. because of your work, i’ve been able to discover great artists like Tamar-kali, Apollo Heights and Danielia Cotton. my old friend Bob Davis @ soulpatrol.com sings your praises. really wish i could have been in the city for this one; maybe next year :-)
keep on keepin’ on,
bookerman

Still nothing ‘official,’ but one site said The Noisettes had visa issues and couldn’t appear.

I was so wanting to see Sophia, it’s been a looong time. It was such a great line-up, unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it.

I look forward to your interviews…

Not sure. After The Dirtbombs, I did quick interview with James, Nerdkween and Maya Azucena, and then I was out. If you get the real deal, I’d appreciate it if you’d pass it along. Thanks!

Seems unlikely since I’m pretty sure they’re bigger than Ramos and Little Jackie, but I never heard official word about them not appearing.
