Itchy-O

Denver-based Avant-Garde Percussion Ensemble

THIS 50-PIECE MASKED BAND OF CHAOS INVITES YOU TO DISSOLVE THE PERFORMER/AUDIENCE DIVIDE AND MELT INTO THE BEDLAM OF THE DISORIENTING POWER THAT IS ITCHY-O. Itchy-o brings a sophisticatedly savage sound and the sheer ecstasy of instruments untethered and running free.With a driving drum corps battery, taiko drummers, an arsenal of electronics including synthesizers, theremin, vocoders, and many other special devices, itchy-o completely engulfs and immerses an audience from every angle in a pounding electric bog of music, ephemera and spectacle. The masked and hive-minded itchy-o is waging war on predictable mediocrity with their blind-siding-style performances which feature an artfully hazardous chinese lion, a troupe of sensuous dancing provocateurs, fog, strobes, sequins, sweat and fury.
