Aesop Rock + Kimya Dawson Australian Shows 2011 – A Night With Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson

Indie-rap surrealist Aesop Rock has announced some Australian tour dates with Olympia based singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson. The shows will be called A Night with Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson.

Each show will have a set with Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz – which features Aesop solo material as well as music from Hail Mary Mallon – the new group featuring Aesop, Rob and Wiz, a solo set with Kimya Dawson and a set with Aesop and Kimya together.

Aesop and Kimya’s first performance together was a free in-store at artist Alex Pardee’s Zero Friend’s pop up shop in Los Angeles January 29, 2011. Their second show was February 25, 2011 – a sold out Noise Pop show at Great American Music Hall. Artists Jeremy Fish and Alex Paree designed the stage, assembling two 15ft walls of hand painted boxes. The artists, along with Aesop, Kimya, Rob and Wiz, threw all of the boxes to the fans at the end of the show.

Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson are collaborating on a new album together.
