DETAILS: On February 29, a diverse range of musical and visual artists band together for a party so crazy that it could only happen every four years; “Pirates vs Klowns” – the Leap Day Leap. Featuring a costumed crowd enjoying 6 hours of live music, performance art, circus and cabaret performance, and even some huge DJ sets. The centerpiece of this feast for the senses will be the first SF appearance of 2008 by the indescribable 43-piece music/performance-art/dance ensemble, The Mutaytor. Other highlights include a debut duo set by breakbeat stars Uberzone & Bassbin Twins and a visit from UK dubstep wiz Kromestar. Adrian & the Mysterious D. and Big Dolla will host the “Bootie Pirate Mashup Room” in the front, while Antennae, Ripple & Boggle host “Full Melt” dubstep and acid crunk upstairs. Motion Potion, Victor Vega, Absurge, and Rocket of the Fringe hold down the eclectic funk, breaks, electro and live art downstairs. LA’s legendary Cirque Berzerk will be on-hand to show off their high-flying aerials in the main room.
The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes elements of Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Underworld, and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment. With tons of fresh material and an emphasis on instrumental prowess (with 2 guitars, keys and bass joining the huge drum-line), their sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. There's nothing like a Mutaytor show; they are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd. With their sonic redesign, recently showcased at their home in Black Rock City (punctuated by a burst courtesy of 2000 lbs of propane), it’s clear that The Mutaytor is a force to be reckoned with.
Uberzone is the brainchild of southern California native Q (named after the "gizmo" -loving James Bond character). Like his namesake, Q is a die-hard collector of all things electronic, and has been collecting electronic-music gear since his early teens. His early singles, "Botz" and "The Freaks", were critically acclaimed club tracks that established Q as one of the leading American producers of breakbeat music. His remixes of Sarah McLachlan, The Crystal Method and BT also established him as one of the biggest names in the American dance scene. Spin Magazine named Uberzone as one of the six producers to create "the biggest beats ever." Bassbin Twins were born in Los Angeles, moved to Belgium, and are now based in San Francisco. Started in 1992 simply because of a "love for the beats", they've recorded for Skint, Belgian Breaks, Southern Fried, and others, as well as their own numerous one off indpendent releases. A live Bassbin Twins show is a remix of all their favorite music. Their innovative tunes range from breaks to house to drum 'n bass. Anything and everything can get woven into the mix. Eclectic in nature, the connection lies in the unique rub they put on each track.
