[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.

[WHAT] This is the 4th party by FlyKite and this one should be especially wild. The Wild Hare is a great spot for events like this. The stage is just low enough, the system is great and it lies in the heart of Wrigleyville aka bar central. This line up is stacked with great performers and master turntablists. I’ve seen BBU and MidnightRockers tag team a set and the outcome is full of energy and smooth transitions. I’m excited to see the rest of the line up tear up the stage.

[WHAT] “Come party with almost 10,000 fellow Tiesto fans and be witness to what can simply be described as a massive party under one unified vibe!” This sounds like its going to be insane. I have lots of respect for Tiesto and the hard work he puts into bringing techno round the world. The man grinds and loves what he does and it shows. His shows tend to sell out early so nab these tickets quick. There’s a lot of great music going on this November and I think this will be a concert you wont want to miss.

[WHO]  Pretty Lights + Major Lazer + Diplo

[WHEN] Thursday December 30th – 9:00 pm /

[PRICE] $40  //  Get Tickets

[EXTRA NOIZE] 17+  - Congress capacity is 4000. Crowd…Noize!

[WHAT] So this is it…a New Years weekend Clash of The Titans. I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit upset this line-up is not performing on New Years Eve but can’t cry over spilled milk. I’ve seen Major Lazer and Diplo perform several times and every time it’s a massive party. Along with this duo, the headliner, Pretty Lights , is a pioneer when it comes to light show concerts and he puts on a true spectacle. This is surely going to go down in the record books.  Last year’s PL NYE’s show sold out incredibly fast so get your tickets now through CrowdNoize!

[PRICE] $15 – advanced $20 – at the door  //  Get Tickets

[EXTRA NOIZE] 17+

[WHAT] This show is PACKED with awesome DJs, I’m actually very impressed it’s only 15 bucks. Mike Relm: infamous, hilarious, mind shattering, you’ve probably seen some of his video remixes on youtube and if not hit up your search bar immediately. Its great to see someone keeping turntablism innovative and relevant right now. I’m personally geeked on Tittsworth, I’m a long time follower of the legendary Baltimore Club heavyweight, but I have yet to actually see him live. The lovely Dani Deahl, the homies, Zebo and Willy Joy, our finest home court DJs always throw down correct in the booth. (Willy Joy will be just off the jet from another Euro tour, so lets get down!)
