Saul Williams as Niggy Tardust. Spectacular. What to expect at the show?
Enigmatic performance artist Saul Williams has gathered plenty of attention, due in part to Trent Reznor's involvement in his 2007 release Niggy Tardust, but stands on its own as an insanely cool alt-hip hop release (read the review). And the alter ego that is Niggy Tardust will be touring under the Tar Spangled Banner moniker, beginning at SXSW in March. Tour dates are below, but shows of note to Baltimoreans are the Ram's Head Tavern (Annapolis) and 9:30 Club dates in April.
