Multisensory concert

Ratatat took hold of a thousand or so people last night and took control of their inhibitions.


Ratatat is a duo from New York, making as much music as is humanly possible from a sythesizer and a guitar. It's an incredible show (last night being my 3rd time seeing them) not only because of the music but because of the presentation. In addition to standard fog machines, lasers, and crazy LED light displays, Evan Mast and Mike Stroud have a giant screen behind them that sometimes plays cleverly edited video clips, and sometimes amorphous colored designs.

Check them out on iTunes or MySpace and see how your ear drums and brain work together when confronted with shrill beeps, and face numbing guitar riffs.
