Jamile Lidell played Bumbershoot & a boat | Irving Plaza tix

JAMIE LIDELL @ BUMBERSHOOT, SEATTLE | SEPT 2, 2006 (CRED – MORE)

Jamie Lidell performed at the 2006 Bumbershoot Festival in a trench coat. The speakers caught on fire. Sneakmove has a video.

And we’re sure you’ll hear plenty of other avenues saying he was “so hot” or “so electrifying” that he set the speakers on fire, so we’ll refrain from doing so, but know that at the end of his set, some of the speakers did indeed have flames coming from them. He was singing soul, but flaming speakers is fucking punk rock. [Seattlest]

Drpaulproteus has pictures from Jamie’s August 31st Rocks Off Boat Cruise performance. Tickets are on sale for the WIRED show at Irving Plaza.
