Description

Friday, August 19th is going to be a party with music from Snakes and Stars and Templo. The incredible Artist DJ and the Iconic Duo will be taking the stage and delivering not only new but once-in-a-lifetime performances! About Snakes and Stars: Snakes and Stars is offering a sneak preview of a landmark, new project of Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident) and Aaron Johnston (Brazilian Girls, David Byrne's American Utopia). Long-time friends and collaborators, Michael and Aaron were looking for new avenues of musical creation when Michael reached out to see what Aaron thought of a new idea. They got together to check it out and it worked! It worked very, very well! The musical visions synchronized in an incredibly fruitful way, and out of the ether, Snakes and Stars was born. Snakes and Stars is two of live music’s top drummers exploring various idioms of electronic and dance music in a live, improvisational format. While DJs play previous recorded tracks Snakes and Stars plays everything live and makes up the songs as they go. Relying on a combined 60 years of live music experience, Travis and Johnston utilize vocals, synthesizers, electronic pads and triggers, drum kit, guitar, bass, and samples to create a one-of-a-kind musical experience in the moment. Every show is a unique experience; a playful interaction between the two artists, audience, and the surrounding energy they collectively create together to guide the music. No two shows will ever be the same. The band finds its inspiration in deep electronic roots from minimal, trance, techno, and house along with contemporary electronic stylings like trap and dubstep, Snakes and Stars is a leap forward in today’s live music scene, mixing both traditional drumming and the most contemporary of sounds. Each one of these unique experiences are not to be missed.
