Akira The Don unleashes I Am Not Dead (Yeah!) and hosts an EP Mini-Movie Party on Halloween.
Picture the scene: London. Autumn, 2009. The music industry lies in ruins. Dead-eyed zombies lurch and drool where once stood pop stars we loved and admired. The airwaves are dominated by the reanimated howls of soulless rotting husks: dead music for a dead culture.
But one man is ready to change all this. One living, breathing, bona fide pop star has come to say “enough is enough”; Akira The Don is not dead.
To celebrate, we bring you the “I Am Not Dead (Yeah!) EP”, his first official release for two years: and it’s out this Halloween.
The EP showcases five brand new ATD tracks, including I Am Not Dead (Yeah!), taken from Akira’s forthcoming album, The Life Equation: co-produced by Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Robbie Williams) and featuring Gruff Rhys (SFA, Neon Neon) on backing vocals.
The EP is accompanied by a zombie apocalypse mini-movie music video that has been a year in the making, had no budget, and stars a whole host of friends, enemies, collaborators, extras and passers by.
A party and film screening will be held at The Dogstar in Brixton, London on Halloween: Saturday, October 31st.
The release will be available via akirathedon.com, iTunes and all other major digital retailers.
