Authors of one of the most interesting leftfield rap records of 2011 in Black Up, Shabazz Palaces are coming to Cork for a show at The Pavilion on May 19th. More info as it happens. I suspect a Dublin date is also imminent (Update: Jim confirms it). A new video is above while live footage and a album short film are below to give you an idea of what to expect.
