I don't know who's on first, but I do know that the very best band is playing at Johnny Brenda's tonight. Which band is that, Abbott? Why, Costello, it's The Very Best. That's the collaboration between London based Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya and DJ-producer Radioclit whose electro-Afro-pop debut, The Warm Heart of Africa, really truly is one of the very best of the year. The Very Best includes collaborations with M.I.A. and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, and I'm guessing neither of them will be in Fishtown tonight. The cause for celebration, however, is that Mwamwaya, who's visa problems have forced the band to cancel previous shows on this tour, will indeed be there. Check TVB out below.
