November 27, 2009: One eskimO at World Cafe Live
XPN Free at Noon at the World Cafe Live.
A co-production of WXPN and NPR Music.
Singer-songwriter Kristan Leontiou was already an established UK Top 10 charter, when he started the imaginitive and animated band One eskimO. Teaming up with Gravy Media, One eskimO produced two short films to accompany several of their music tracks, and the videos were an instant hit, receiving honors at film festivals. The band also won the hugely-coveted Public Choice Best Music Video at the British Animation Awards for the song "Hometime" in 2008.
While One eskimO's idiosyncratic self-visualization and animation may be a striking element of the project, it is their incredibly expressive music that brings their characters to life. Their inventive musical style is colorfully emotional, touching upon relatable themes of love, success and failure. The band's self-titled debut album also comes with a full-length animation - a testament of their musical and artistic vision.

PARKING NOTICE
Due to the construction in the area, free parking is no longer available for XPN Free At Noon shows. Metered parking on 31st street is no longer available, and metered parking on Walnut Street is extremely limited as a result of the closure and reconstruction of the South Street Bridge, and the rerouting of traffic onto Walnut Street.
Public transportation to XPN Free At Noon is recommended. WXPN has made arrangements with the University of Pennsylvania to open UPENN Lot #26 on Walnut Street between the hours of 10:30am and 2pm every Friday. If you must drive, you can park there (Cost is $5.00). Entrance to the Lot 26 is on Walnut Street, just east of 32nd street. Here's a link to Penn's Parking map.
