Pioneering electronic music icons Thievery Corporation, whose
genre-defining albums have garnered a global following and much
critical acclaim across the board, perform live with their full band
this Spring and Summer. You'll hear tracks from their newest and
highest charting album 'The Cosmic Game' (ESL) along with many Thievery
classics. Blurring and transcending the boundaries between rock,
breaks, future-bossa, and dub, 'The Cosmic Game' is a psychotropic,
aural concoction that stands as a landmark of electronic music, and the
band's most ambitious and essential work to date.
With the release of their fourth album 'The Cosmic Game'-- featuring
the likes of Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips), Perry Farrell, and Sleepy
Wonder -- Thievery Corporation's Rob Garza and Eric Hilton notch a new
high point in a career marked by ambitious sonic exploration, steadfast
independence, millions of fans, and remarkable global reach. The
Thievery live show features the duo accompanied by guitar, bass, sitar,
percussion and horns along with several guest vocalists and MCs.
Hailing from Washington D.C., a scene legendary for fierce musical and
political independence, the group has thrived while preserving their
own independent aesthetic -- selling over a million albums, every one
them self-produced and independently distributed on their own
Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) label.
