Tickets for the show are on sale Wednesday 9 April for €20 including booking fee
Sage Francis plays The Sugar Club on 12 October 2014 After a 4-year hiatus, the indie rap artist Sage Francis is heading back on the road to support the June 2014 release of “Copper Gone” on Strange Famous Records.
Fans of Sage Francis may remember, that he declared a sudden retirement from touring at the end of his “Li(f)e on the Road” world excursion in 2010. Many thought this was the end as his three album deal with Epitaph Records came to its conclusion. “It sort of offends my sensibilities to hear that some people thought I gave up music,” Francis remarks. “I’ve been writing songs since I was 8 years old. Performing on stage since 12. Winning over crowds and losing partners in the process. As far as creative energy goes, my entire adult life and the bulk of my childhood has been dedicated to this craft. I don’t even think I could stop that train if I wanted to.”
However, there were other factors at hand, “No matter how much time I spend by myself, I’m constantly aware of how I need to keep this ship afloat. If not for me, then for the others who have jumped on board with me. That’s not the main motivation for what I do, but it’s probably good to feel pressured into staying active outside of my bubble. I’m stressed, overworked, and exhausted regardless of my situation, so I might as well step into the fire rather than just watch the world burn around me. At this point, that sounds a lot better to me than spending the rest of my life as a recluse, wondering what might’ve been.”
