MIAMI: It Was Written Tour with Johan Hugo (Radioclit) & Terry Lynn Tonight
- story THE FADER
Johan Hugo of FADER all-time faves Radioclit and Terry Lynn are in the thick of a whirlwind six cities in six days tour in support of their It Was Written EP for Red Stripe. It kicked off last night in DC and continues tonight in Miami before heading to Chicago, Austin, LA and New York City. We’ve got the tour dates and RSVPs for each after the jump along with a behind-the-scenes video, and you can still download the EP at thefader.com/redstripe.

Terry Lynn, responsible for one of the grimiest videos of 2008, has joined up with Johan Hugo of Radioclit/The Very Best to make this new track from the forthcoming free digital EP called It Was Written. The five songs on the EP, presented by Red Stripe Beer, “celebrate the worldwide influence of Jamaican music,” something we have been celebrating at FADER for over 10 years now. You’ll be able to get the full EP on Monday, June 15th, at www.thefader.com/redstripe, but enough with the formalities! This song is way more fun than one might expect from Lynn, who last we saw her, if our memory serves correct, was pointing a giant gun at us in a video. Here’s to finding time in your busy schedule to appreciate your womanhood!

Video: Terry Lynn, “Kingstonlogic”

Granted, a play off “Technologic” in 2008 would normally not get our attention, but this is as much about the video for Terry Lynn’s song as it is about the song itself. It’s a synced slideshow of FADER contributor Peter Dean Rickards‘ intense Kingston photographs, mixed in with some headshots of Terry gripping a big ass knife or big ass gun and then a bunch of dogs. But the song’s pretty great on its own, despite the untimely inspiration, and got us to check out some of Lynn’s other songs, namely the jawn-a-thon known as “The System” on her MySpace. Other than that there are a bunch of decent “Kingstonlogic” remixes up, and we hear Lynn’s album is due out soon on Last Gang, so stay tuned.
