Confidence Man Cover

Long-legged whip-smart Janet Planet, strong-of-jawed Sugar Bones, and their shadow band—Reggie Goodchild and Clarence McGuffie—are Australia’s Confidence Man. At the most recent Primavera Sound 2018, they put on the most dynamic, soul-affirming, dance-y show… Think: choreography, wild jumps, and—my personal favorite—super-fast costume changes. Now, they’re bringing their irresistible dance tracks to Kantine am Berghain on … Read more Confidence Man Help Us Make Confident Decisions in a Chaotic World
