Randy 's cousin John Avila visits Colorado touring with "The Mutaytor" group from LosAngeles. They appeared at the Fox theater in Boulder as well as up in Aspen, finishing at Cervantes in Denver.
Mutaytor is 100 tribal drums, live-mixed electronica, fire performers, hoop dancers, aerial artists, John Avila (Oingo Boingo) on bass, Steve Reid (Rippingtons/Supertramp) on percussion, a live horn section, chine parade lions, giant screen visuals and a bevy of interactive dancers and performers.
The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes drastically advanced elements of the Grateful Dead, Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Louis Prima and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment notable for "turning Civilians into Rockstars." The sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. They are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd. If you get a chance check them out in concert and on the web!
Here's some pics and a movie from the show!
