On Saturday night, Blood Orange (a/k/a Dev Hynes) performed a pair of shows at the Apollo Theater in Harlem with a few special guests. While Ratking, Le1f andJunglepussy were his openers, the main event was Blood Orange and Nelly Furtado.
Before the show, they both tweeted that they’ve collaborated on a cassette called Hadron Collider. The one-track tape was only available for people who attended their Apollo shows. Proceeds from the concerts will benefit the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music.
