See Beats Antique at The Westcott Theater
Concert-goers looking for something completely different and unexpected should head to The Westcott Theater this evening for a performance by Beats Antique. Many are familiar with this trio’s unique electro-infused world music, but I’m guessing few have seen them live. Beats Antique is part belly dancing, part Steampunk–blending down tempo, hip-hop, jazz, afro-beat, tango and a long list of Indian, Greek and Middle Eastern music traditions. Here’s a chance to see them live!
Read MoreConcert Round Up: Shpongle Etc.
The Westcott Theater has been bringing so many awesome shows to Syracuse lately so I figured I’d include my top 3 picks for the next week. Here you’ll find a quick primer on the three acts as well as all the info you need to decide, listen and purchase tickets. First up is psychedelic shaman-trance called Shpongle, Russian-American rockabilly with Red Elvises and then Brooklyn-based indie-dance band Rubblebucket. It’s quite a unique list so get ready for some fun.
Read MoreFelix Cartal at The Westcott Theater.
This Wednesday, April 25th at 8:00 p.m. another famous electro and EDM producer hits the stage at The Westcott Theater. There have been a ton of shows packed together in the last few weeks and that trend is still happening. This time it’s Felix Cartal, a young and super talented producer/punk musician hailing from Vancouver who just dropped his second album, Different Faces. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy his work and I’m stoked to see him tear it up live!
Read MoreSee Trampled By Turtles Folk Music Live
Concerts, concerts, concerts, blah, blah, blah… Well guess what? Here’s another one. The Westcott Theater hosts another long-awaited show when bluegrass, country and indie folk sensations Trampled by Turtles take the stage. This show is unlike any previous concert feature on Syracuse Guru and features a full band with actual live instruments (imagine that). Trampled by Turtles have grown tremendously popular, here’s a rare chance to experience their stripped-down, hybridized but sincere bluegrass.
Read MoreLaidback Luke: Sunday ‘Cuse Concert
One of the foremost innovators of electro-house music, Laidback Luke is throwing an almost sold out show at The Westcott on Sunday, April 15th. I’m not going to try to convince you if you aren’t a fan of electro house. I’ll be the first to admit that while the genre is becoming mainstream in a big way, it’s not for everyone. What you should know is that Laidback Luke is absolutely huge in his genre and has made a career out of remixing elements of mainstream pop and producing a crossover that is more electro-house than pop.
Read MoreSBTRKT: A Unique Westcott Concert
For anyone stumbling over the name–as I’ll admit I was–it is in fact “subtract.” This Thursday, April 5th up and coming UK DJ/producer SBTRKT takes the stage at The Westcott Theater (where else?). Current listeners have already been won over by the music’s totally unique charms and blatant genius (got the album on repeat as I write this). It’s somewhat of a departure from the artists I’ve been writing about lately, and a show that you absolutely should not miss!
Read MoreSpring Concerts: DJ Shadow Comes to The Westcott!
There’s quite an impressive list of shows coming up at The Westcott Theater, but I was super excited when I heard that DJ Shadow will perform on Saturday, March 31st at 9:00 p.m. The concert was announced today (Tuesday, March 20th) and tickets just went on sale. Devotees of the Westcott Theater are no strangers to hugely famous DJs and electronic music, but DJ Shadow is on another level entirely. It’s not often that a veteran like Shadow hits ‘Cuse so I just had to suggest you check it out!
Read MoreThursday Night Dubstep and DnB: UKF Tour Hits ‘Cuse!
Coming this Thursday, March 8th to The Westcott Theater is the UKF Spring U.S. Tour. If you’re not sure exactly what that is, well I’ll tell you. It represents one of the few authentic British dubstep concert tours to enter the States. While artists like Skrillex are defining a new niche of dubstep and even mainstream pop artists are dipping into the sound, dubstep was actually born in the UK.
