Carbon Silicon, War on Culture; Casino 7 - Feb 29th - London

Carbon/Silicon is a Garage Rock duo consisting of two punk rock legends: Mick Jones formerly of The Clash and former Generation X member Tony James. The band formed around 2002. n January 2008, in what is seen as a return their roots, the band played 7 weekly concerts at a tiny venue Inn on the Green in Ladbroke Grove, London. At the first gig, Topper Headon got up and played with the band for two songs.The formation of the band was catalyzed by the internet and peer to peer file sharing. The first song written by Jones and James was entitled "MPFree," in which they expressed their willingness to embrace the technology of the internet and file sharing, in the interest of spreading music, rather than profit. The band still makes live bootlegs and recordings freely available through their own website, and the fansite. Recorded on March 01, 2008 using a Flip Video camcorder.
