If you go see an Islands show and and a weird, sleepy-eyed rapper gets on stage, don’t worry: It’s our irrepressible friend Awol One. The Los Angeles MC is opening for the Montreal indie-rock band, and he’ll get a chance to expose nilihistic sounds from Only Death Can Kill You, Killafornia and Souldoubt to a new audience full of potential fans. Thank Nick Thorburn, an underground rap fan closely aligned with L.A. icon Daddy Kev, for recognizing the brilliance of Awolrus.
