Featuring Vintage Trouble, LION BABE, and The Skins
\nAFROPUNK presents The Triptych: Wangechi Mutu<\/p>\n

Live-wired Vintage Troubleshoots straight from the hip and blows apart modern soul, rock, and R&B. Yahoo Music says, \u201cImagine James Brown singing lead for Led Zeppelin, and you\u2019ll get an idea of Vintage Trouble\u2019s muscular in-the-pocket sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

LION BABE singer-songwriter and performance artist Jillian Hervey and instrumentalist and producer Lucas Goodman\u2014draws on an eclectic mix of influences for their sonic and stunning visuals, which mirror the rich melting pot of New York cultures. Citing A Tribe Called Quest and Sergeant Pepper\u2013era Beatles as early influences, the duo identifies with a generation brought up on the internet, with references from film and music of all genres and eras just a click away.<\/p>\n

The Skins are an infectious Brooklyn-based band whose ages range from 15-21. They play like old pros, offering a soulful interpretation of rock that today\u2019s audiences crave, while proving age doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

The Triptych, a documentary series highlighting outspoken visual artists of our time, profiles the culturally resonant voice of Kenyan-born sculptor and artist Wangechi Mutu. Based in Brooklyn, Mutu\u2019s acclaimed Afrofuturist works explore feminism, globalization, and the post-imperialist age.<\/p>\n
