Jack Pe単ate plays intimate iTunes festival gig

Jack Pe単ate played an intimate gig in London last night (July 27), at the Institute of Contemporary Arts venue, as part of the iTunes festival.

The festival sees a gig a night happening at the venue throughout July.

Pe単ate began the show with crowd favourite Spit At Stars, spitting into the air twice for effect.

After performing Got my Favourite, Pe単ate risked the wrath of iTunes, who were recording the gig for later release.

Being the tame artist I am, I dont have an explicit sticker on my album, he said. But Im going to swear, so iTunes have to put an explicit warning on this recording, and I can be Dr. Dre for the day. Fuck bastard cunt.

During Made Of Codes Pe単ate slung his guitar behind him and performed his famed side-step dance routine, but slipped over half way through. Thats the first time Ive fallen on stage! joked the singer.

He went on to sing the praises of his support act, Jamie Woon. My voice is like a cornflake compared to his, which is like smooth chocolate, he said.

As well as crowd favourites Spit At Stars and recent single Torn On The Danceloor, Pe単ate performed a cover of Dub Be Good To Me by Beats International, and the opening verse of Sam Cookes Wonderful World.

The full set-list was:

Spit At Stars
Got My Favourite
Learning Lines
Made Of Codes
Cold Thin Line
Have I Been A Fool
Dub Be Good To Me
Well Be Here
Second, Minute Or Hour
