After uniting as Clockwork Indigo for their Clockwork Indigo EP, Brooklyn rap groups Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers are preparing to hit the road for their joint Electric Koolade Experience tour in the UK next year.
Flatbush Zombies, part of the East Coast movement rose to prominence with their video for ‘Thug Waffle’ and debut mixtape ‘D.R.U.G.S’, they have worked with the likes of ASAP Rocky, Joey Badass and Action Bronson and have sold out all previous UK shows to date. The Underachievers, signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder Records have also seen a wave of popularity this side of the pond selling out (and tearing up) London’s KOKO in March. Their debut album ‘Cellar Door: Terminus Ut Exordium’ was released in August to widespread acclaim from the likes of NPR, XXL and Complex amongst many others, also breaking from the underground and peaking at #11 in the US Rap charts.
The Brooklyn super-group made huge waves in the Hip-Hop world when they combined to release the Clockwork Indigo EP last week following up the single The Butterfly Effect, a raw hard-hitting piece of music that featured portentous tones, machine gun flow and razor sharp production. After touring together in the past and sharing similarities in both music and heritage, the collaboration made sense and the 5 track project is one of the freshest Hip-Hop releases this year. And now the record will be followed up with a very special UK tour.
After their epic 36-date-show around North America this year the new collective will be touching down in UK in March 2015, and are set to perform three select shows at Manchester Gorilla, Birmingham Temple and London KOKO. With both groups known for their wild high-energy live performances, their UK dates are simply not to be missed.
