Summary: Happy Birthday Mister Welfare! To celebrate a year of podcasting, our host and co-hosts sit down with DJ Manchildblack and performance artist Monstah Black, the musical duo (and married couple) known as The Illustrious Blacks. Recorded at The Public Theater, where Mr. Gandy first witnessed the Illustrious Blacks perform, the group dives into Manchildblack and Monstah Black's separate origins, their cosmic collision, and what they seek through the creation of their infectious Afro-Futurist music. See them at Joe's Pub June 23rd (https://www.publictheater.org/reserve/index.aspx?performanceNumber=37330) and at Central Park's SummerStage June 24th!
