MC Lars

Date: Wednesday, Oct 25 2017

Time: 7:30pm

Venue: Louisiana

Price: £11

Artists: MC Lars, Spose

MC Lars (real name: Andrew Nielsen) began making hip-hop-based tapes while still a kid, but was sidetracked from rap by such traditionally important issues (to teenagers) as playing guitar in a punk band and getting accepted to a college. Nielsen went to Stanford and then did an exchange stint at Oxford, but all the while he was fiddling with desktop productions and developing his quirky, pop-culture-savvy style. Boisterous live gigs and word of mouth built buzz for Lars’ home-studio raps.

£11 in advance
