Converse Rubber Tracks Live will host a Wolf Alice show in London on February 24, a free concert at legendary Haringey venue, The Boogaloo.
As the physical incarnation of the Converse Rubber Tracks programme, the live show will also feature Converse Rubber Tracks London artist Crows, hand-picked by Wolf Alice. Applications for free tickets open today on converse.co.uk/rubber-tracks.
Converse Rubber Tracks London launched with a residency in Haringey, where select local musicians were given the opportunity to record for free at a state-of-the-art recording studio from Saturday, January 10 through Monday, January 19. The following ten acts were hand-picked to record by a panel formed of NME magazine’s New Music Editor, Matt Wilkinson; the founder of London radio station NTS, Femi Adeyemi; and member of The Young Guns Network, Harry Balazs: Haarlem Riots, Piff Gang, Crows, Jay Prince, Home Clouds, Desert Mountain Tribe, Rainbow Tiger, Gutshot For Broadway, Arctic Lake and Brey.
“We’re thrilled by the initial response we’ve received by London’s music community for the Converse Rubber Tracks programme, which is illustrated by the number of local artists who have applied for recording time,” said Jed Lewis, Converse Global Music Marketing Director. “We hope the programme makes a long-lasting impact across the local music scene over the next year and we look forward to providing emerging musicians and bands from all over the city this unique opportunity as we continue in Ealing, Southwark and Tower Hamlets.”
Converse Rubber Tracks London kicked off at Haringey’s iconic Snap Studios, where each artist worked directly with award-winning producer and engineer Al O’Connell, utilising the studio’s state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technology. Each artist then retains all rights to their music after a full day of recording.
