ESG to perform exclusive gig at Garageprojektet Hammenhög, Sweden

ESG (Emerald Sapphire & Gold) is coming overseas to give two live-shows in London i march 2019. This will be their last trip to Europe ever, and that is a definitive decision. The band is currently giving farewell shows in USA as the founding and remaining original member Renee Nichols (fd. Scroggins) is closing down the band. On this last trip to Europe, ESG will also come to Sweden to give two exclusive shows - we are overwhelmingly happy to announce one of them will be with us!

Renee Scroogins started the band back in 1978 together with her three sisters as their mother gave them instruments to keep them of the streets of South Bronx (New York) where they grew up. Renee became the band’s lead singer and songwriter and together with her sisters ESG quickly became known as the coolest band to emerge on the New York No Wave scene in the early 1980’s.

Their utterly groovy, funky, post-punk dance-music has since then hypnotized their audience and are still gaining recognition and new devoted fans. In the year 2000 the band released the collection album “A South Bronx Story” with songs from 1981-1991, which makes it clear why the work of ESG has made such an impact on several music scenes, in particular amongst hip hop acts and artists such as TLC, the Wu-Tang Clan, Kool Moe Dee, the Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Gang Starr, Junior Mafia, Tricky and Jay-Dee.Their track “UFO” (1981) is one of the worlds most sampled songs ever.

Be prepared for a very special evening… this will be legendary!
