Howdy, fellow loopers -- Kid Beyond here. I'm heading to New York this week to do a bunch of shows. It's all live-looping of voice (singing, throat singing, beatboxing, vocal turntablism, vocal guitarsviolinsharmonicas, and so on), using Ableton Live and my trusty Ground Control Pro.

CoSM's grand opening will be an evening of music, poetry and dance. I'm honored to have been invited to perform.

Check kidbeyond.com by Wednesday for more info. There's a fantastic a cappella group called Toxic Audio who have an off-Broadway show called Loudmouth. The show is awesome mix of music and comedy: really tight, fun covers with a full, powerful sound (including great beatboxing), and witty, slapstick, non-cheesy comedy. Toxic's show lasts for about 90 minutes, then after a 15-minute intermission, I'll be doing a 40-minute set of beatboxing and live-looping. http://www.toxicaudio.com =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= Peace, Kid Beyond email@kidbeyond.com | andrew@biggerbread.com http://kidbeyond.com | http://biggerbread.com =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-=
