Tweet: Man + Mic + Box of Tricks = Fun
听
What happened?: A storming, at times funny, set of beat-boxing tricks from the World Loop-Station Champion.听 This one man band toys with us, engages with us, and generally shows us a damn good time, building up tracks we know (鈥楩ix Up, Look Sharp鈥, 鈥3 Is A Magic Number鈥, 鈥楥an I Kick It鈥), and those of his own, incorporating storytelling, p-taking, and his family in a show that鈥檚 nearer stand-up than straight musical performance.听 His ability to produce and control sounds, and mastery of microphones and loops goes far beyond what someone in the crowd dismissed as 鈥渨hat you do when you can鈥檛 afford equipment鈥.听 His ten minute set of loops and beats would shame quite a few DJs, and it鈥檚 no surprise when he gets called on to do an encore.
听
Shining Light:听 Managing to get us all singing along to 鈥楶ut Your Hands Up For Detroit鈥, somehow redeeming that song, albeit only temporarily.
听
Meltdown:听 I need a shower now after that.听 Possibly in bleach.听 And we have to wait until October to see him again.
