We’re usually up for squeezing as much positivity out of the day as we possibly can, but we also like to leave some room for a little bit of militant rucking on occasion. We all need to vent, right? OK, so we might not be up to the wild, combative standards of The Agitator, aka Derek Meins, but then again we can’t all be the Pied Piper now can we.
Yesterday he released his new video, from which we had only previously seen snippets and teasers. Filmed in Central London for the release of his second single, ‘Give Me All That You Got‘, we see him causing a storm and gathering the masses in a rallying cry. This seems a suitable, take-no-shit call for change in the bankrupt world that we currently find ourselves in.
For those of you new to the strange and beautiful Agitator, this is a marvelous talent, from Brighton, who’s live show is as unique as it is breathtakingly authentic. The extraordinary thing is that he’s still in his early 20′s and, for those of us who have met him in person, it’s even more unbelievable to find him to be about as meek, sweet and understated as you can imagine any man. Get him on stage though and you’ve never seen a whirlwind performance like it.
The single is out on Monday 15th November and if you fancy catching his special live set, then he’s out on tour in support of Marnie Stern at the following dates around the UK:
18th November – Bodega Social, Nottingham
19th November – Audio, Brighton
20th November – Thekla, Bristol
21st November – The Harley (Drowned In Sound), Sheffield
22nd November – Captains Rest, Glasgow
23rd November – The Deaf Institute (High Voltage)
26th November – The Lexington (White Heat)
