The Glitch Mob

Equipped with matching small drum kits, guitars, synths and touch-screen MIDI controllers (JazzMutant Lemurs, what else?), Los Angeles trio the Glitch Mob crafts an electronic spectrum that soars far beyond samples and pulsing bass lines. Stepping outside the claustrophobia of prerecorded DJ remixes, Ooah, Boreta and edIT add live choreography and flashy video projections to their onstage spinning, which includes hip-hop, metal and every digital distortion in between. The Glitch Mob has already embraced cramped, sweaty spaces, selling out shows in bigger metros such as Boston, Chicago and New York; its stint in Kansas City promises to be both unpredictable and satisfying.
