After spending the latter part of 2008 playing throughout China, eccentric local experimental musician Itta and her duo 10 (with Japanese noise artist Marqido) returned to Seoul at the beginning of this year. Itta did a pair of solo performances in January and 10 have done two Hongdae gigs this month. They are showcasing material from their latest disc, Nomad, at Monghwan on Saturday February 28 at 8 p.m. Cover for the concert is 15,000 won. Those looking for even more chances to catch 10 will be happy to know that they are also scheduled to appear on March 13 at Live Club Ssam [Mark - and March 12 at Mudaeryuk, then heading back to China].

To mark the duo’s return to the Hongdae live scene, American-born graffiti artist (and all around stellar dude) j muzacz recently painted pictures of both members on the underside wall of the small bridge that’s right by Salon Badabie. Pretty cool stuff, indeed.
