The single “Kiss Me Again” is deeply connected with our guest Nicky Siano – he produced and released it in 1978 with Arthur Russell aka Dinosaur. For Russell the single represented a breakthrough and the beginning of a legendary career – a career that only really received due acknowledgement ten years after he died much too young in 1992. Alongside folk, experimental pop songs and No Wave bangers, Russell also released disco milestones. The Dinosaur Project, initiated by Week-End founder Jan Lankisch and arranged by Jorik Bergman, celebrates Russell and Siano’s hit with a half-hour jam at the Kompakt record store. Nicky Siano will join us for an artist talk before the concert. Free entry!
