Aisha Orazbayeva: plucking Elvis

Yes, Peter and Joe are back, with a humdinger of a show this time, once again recorded in the insalubrious but highly conducive surrounds of Hoxton's MeatMISSION burger bar.

Their continued explorations of the past, present and future of cross-cultural intermingling this time takes in jazz-acid, prog-electro, French roots'n'culture, pizzicato Elvis, sardonic Balkan beats, Belgian trip-hop, Appalachian dubstep, ambient country, Euro urban decadence, some Amazon grooves, Grace Jones and Françoise Hardy. Jump in!
