BEATS ANTIQUE at The Fillmore - Denver, CO 12/3/11

Beats Antique 12/3/11

What an awesome and interesting night this was. Beats Antique is such a cool music group. They are considered to be in the electronic music genre because of the electronic sounds/bass they incorporate into their music, but they also all play many different instruments and have people come on stage to add to the performance as well. For those who aren't familiar with Beats Antique at all, here is a little blurb from their website:

"Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electonica and world roots music comes a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance, built of brass bands and glitch, string quartets and dubstep: the musical trio Beats Antique."


Opening for Beats Antique on this night was Tipper and Alex Grey and Allyson Grey live painting for the audience. This was such an awesome thing to see because his painting are like nothing I've ever seen. Alex Grey is known worldwide for his paintings and his artwork can be spotted all around the city of Denver. (I actually bought a Calendar of his paintings today!) Alex Grey's paintings "takes the viewer on both a graphic and visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical and spiritual anatomy of the self. Grey's portrayals of human beings blend scientific exactitude with depictions of universal life energy, enabling us to redefine both our world and ourselves." To learn more about his work, visit his website. Here's a picture I took of one of his paintings on the large screen at the concert.

Tipper was an awesome act before Beats Antique as well. I had heard great things about him before the show and he was really good and went well with the Beats Antique vibe everyone had that night. If you visit his website, you can listen to all of his music for free just by clicking on an album and then the song name. Beats Antique put on an awesome show as usual - and I was so excited for them to be the headliner of the show for once so my focus could be 100% on them. They played a sick Bassnectar remix of his song "Voo Doo." Here's a video I found on YouTube for that... and may I warn you to only listen and not watch. This video might make you dizzy haha! For a more steady video, you can watch one I took from the show below. It's not of the Bassnectar remix though, but it's still cool to watch!

I'm headed to see ill.Gates this weekend! I have never seen him before and am really excited about it. I'm sure I'll be telling you how ILL it was next week ;-)
