The Fuzzy Needle is proud to welcome the legendary Tuareg musician Mdou Moctar to the shop for an intimate solo show. His desert-inflected psych rock has earned critical acclaim from Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. Moctar’s latest album Tears of Injustice is an acoustic reworking of 2024’s Funeral for Justice; as the band writes, the record conveys “the grief of a nation locked into a constant churn of poverty, colonial exploitation, and political upheaval.”

This will be a very personal listening room experience — we’ll have some tix on sale at the door, but we advise advance purchase, as there’s limited space. We hope you can join us. Doors at 7 pm, show at 8 pm.

UPDATE: Looks like we’ve sold out of advance tickets. We may have limited tickets at the door at $30.
