Saul Williams Embarks On 'Tar Spangled Banner Tour'
-
Artist:
Saul Williams is heading out on a thirty date tour in support of "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!". The Trent Reznor produced album has been praised by both critics and fans.
"The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! is the lovechild of Trent and me," says Williams. "The Niggytardust concept sets me free to do more on stage with costume, etc. than one might expect from a regular Saul Williams show. It allows me to put my theatre training to use. I've also thought long and hard about all the discussion surrounding racial epithets etc. and chose this title as a means of furthering the dialogue while also showing how creativity will outlive and outshine hatred of any kind."
