Nov 24: Jimmy Edgar + Sun Glitters
For their first anniversary party, Say Yes is pairing the LA-based techno wizard Jimmy Edgar with a live performance from chill wave pioneer Sun Glitters. Edgar famously signed to the iconic Warp Records as an 18 year old where he developed a diverse style that veered from glitchy underground hip hop to his “signature glossy, erotically charged robot funk.” Support from Faded Ghost, Tutu and Misloop.
