[WHAT] Tibaut Bowman and Felix Moreno also known as Auto Body are a live indie electro fusion band out of the Austin, Texas scene and boy can they put on a show. Resourcefulness, Creativity and sheer musical talent separate these guys from the rest. Auto Body’s use of different synths and electro sounds mesh perfectly with the instrumental base creating this live electro fusion. Having just released a seven song party EP called Priest Party , many await their album drop which should be by the end of 2010.With openers Bird Peterson and Lo Bounce also on the line up this should be a tack on the calendar for all you live music junkies out there.

Excision Subsonic Tour – Feb 3

[EXTRA NOIZE] 18+

[WHAT] Excision, still in his early 20′s, came out of Canada with an ear and a unique music taste that would allow him to be one of the most revered dubstep artist of our generation. Mixing industrial sounds with intergalactic synths is only the beginning for Excision.  Perfectly balancing metal, hip hop and electro to create an innovative dark version of the growing genre that is dubstep. Under his own label, Rottun Recordings, Excision has single handedly pushed the dubstep sound to the ears of many by putting out grimey yearly Shambala Dubstep Mixes that when played make any room feel like a machine war apocalypse. Gracing the stage before Excision will be bass heavy weights Downlink and Antiserum, both prolific in their individual crafts of mixing and insane drops. While you pre-game tonight throw on the 2010 Shambala Mix and tell me it doesn’t make you want to rage 10X harder.

For this special event the production tour team announced that they “will be adding a massive 50,000 watt PK Sound System designed specifically for Dubstep, along with a sick Intelligent Lighting, and Video rig” .
