[ILoveTheFleetFoxes]

I'm seeing Beats Antique in concert...that's right. be jealous. im so pumped.

[DarnaeSherezadaFatal]

1:31 Awesome!!! She's pregnant :)

[TeaPourSixFour]

Moves me. The comment thread is also interesting.  I think I'll go detoxify from it though. By dancing to some dope music and singing my prayers!

[madamebunnie]

Omigosh!!! I saw those jellyfish puppets out at Burning Man 2011 during the Opulent Temple White Party! SHINY!!!

[kmoffat3]

@madamebunnie Oh yeah, the jellyfish were great. My fiance and I are planning a jellyfish themed art car for this year. Hopefully we'll meet up with the puppets at some point.

[angiemtzamaro]

Nice, very nice! Still I think the aliens could have done much better if they were professional contemporary dancers, which I think could be easily hired by a group like Beats Antique. Congratulations from Mexico !! :D

[paralyzedlullaby]

Absolutely brilliant!!!! I love this so much :) New Inspiration for my next Tribal costume xD

[amdinga]

Alright. Now you guys have to do a collab with Shpongle.

[Clubbaseal]

Gawd, how can I get on the crew for this show?

[TheAuroracrow]

LOVE IT!



[7superjoe7]

looks like a freakin good show!

[lila01purpura]

I'm a fan of Beats Antique, but this time I'm kind of disappointed.

Am I the only one who thinks that Sarah Jessica Parker ending was the best part?

[wahkeena]

WOW!!!! Trippity. And fun! Looks like that was a fun way to bring in 2012.

[paralyzedlullaby]

Wow.

[Jibber131]

Wow!! That was amazing! Nice work on the video and editing. I was lucky enough to see the Belly Up show and the Sea of Dreams extravaganza. Can't wait for the Crystal Ballroom in Portland. BEATS ANTIQUE FEEDS MY SOUL!

[eveningmistonwater]

omg does lovely lady dancing have BEBE BUMP? @ 0:10 omg nothin cuter than a baby bumpin belly dancer!  dawwwwwww!....if just a big belly is cute too; is called BELLY dance for a reason.

[MissCephalopod]

@eveningmistonwater That's Mira Betz, she was ~6 months pregnant at the gig. I got to take a workshop with her and saw her perform at 5 months, she was amazing!

[eveningmistonwater]

@MissCephalopod XD

[SerafinaRose3]

Amazing work, Beats! Would have killed to have been there! When can we download this tune, I'm in love!

[clarkpistolvideos]

this video makes me laugh!!!

mayan's vs aliens is a funny theme for 2012!!

i personally think that it's a funny move to do a pseudo spiritual "prayer formance" and then the aliens come and do a stupid techno song that is obviously made by people who dont make techno...

i caught their NYE performance last year, it was equally stupid and very entertaining!

the fact that they made the song just for this show is pretty tight!!

GO BEATS!

[MsTallulah17]

I happen to think the music itself also sounds like regurgitated indie dubstep crap. I't so uncreative. It does not move me on any level really. And I have seen about 10 shows live. It is so boring to watch the same weird expressions over and over on Zoe. Sorry, but it's annoying. I would never listen to the music at home. It's only good with the show and where it feels all big at a venue. It's not growing musically, except as a a bellydance showcase of somewhat mediocre and overhyped dancers.

[clarkpistolvideos]

@MsTallulah17 have you ever heard regurgitated indie dubstep? well, FYI, it sounds NOTHING like beats antique....

[LetThaNECTARflow]

@MsTallulah17 please spend your time viewing and doing things you DO like and DO enjoy. If you dont like beats antique, that's okay :) life is too short to focus on what you don't like.

[MissCephalopod]

@MsTallulah17 But - seriously, why have you seen TEN FREAKIN' SHOWS of Beats Antique if you hate the music and hate the way Zoe dances? No sane person would do that! Unless you're seriously masochistic and/or get off ripping on things you hate.

[MsTallulah17]

Yer an idiot. you should just shut your pie hole. You dont need to react to shit I say. I was giving my opinion of them and their show. Period. Formulate your own opinions and tell me what you think of the dancers, not my view of the Mayans. What if I believed and worshipped everything they ever did? WOuld you still tell me that you are OK with creating a show around them as if you were somehow entitled to portray indigenous peoples as fucking pseudo tribal bellydance"superstars"(how kitschy)

[MsTallulah17]

I can't state my opinion? You just bashed me, so you are no better. I have just seen this stuff too many times now. Karma's a bitch for telling people to fuck off you know. :) As a belly dancer for many years, I think I am allowed my opinion. If comments are not to be allowed, then they should not be an option. This was better than a lot of the shows I will say. But the whole Mayan theme is something that should be honored, and not made into sacrelig. What would Rachel say?

[rylraven13]

@MsTallulah17 The Mayans? You mean respect a people who practiced captive sacrifice including those of toddlers? Those are the people being disrespected and insulted? I think I am OK with that.

[MsTallulah17]

@rylraven13 I think a bunch of fucking white girls even attempting to understand or even relate to what they are "representing" would be great...meaning to honor it as something that is a lesson of the Universe you twit. What ancestral knowledge or rite are you with holding honey, OH wise One.

[rylraven13]

@rylraven13 It's not fun when someone doesn't buy into your propaganda huh? Amazing what education can do for a person.

[MsTallulah17]

@rylraven13 Beats Antique IS pure Propaganda.... cashing in on others. :) I mean it's show biz right? You are clearly butt hurt. You are obviously in the band or are a promoter or something because you seem to really want to beat down anyone who has an opinion on whether Zoe is that great of a dancer or not>Hmmmmmmm>>>>or take her off stage. Then we'll see how many people actually show up for the shows if it were only white dudes playing Turkish jams.

[rylraven13]

@MsTallulah17 Actually, I am just a fan of their music. Careful with your use of the word "obvious". I have no vested interest in the band and actually find the ladies' style of dance to be boring. My issue was with your reaction to the involvement of Mayans, as if they were your gods, claiming that is was disrespectful. You even used the word sacrilege, however, you did misspell it. I couldn't care less of your opinion on the dancers style and ability.

[rylraven13]

@MsTallulah17 And I was using propaganda in the sense of your attempt to sell this image you have of the Mayans. All I did was point out that the Mayans are hardly worth any extra respect or consideration.

[clarkpistolvideos]

@MsTallulah17 where can we see you dance?

[slidinstonersecret]

@MsTallulah17 It would be kinda cool you were writin this while travelin around meetin different kinds a people in an ecofriendly bus makin more good the goodness of anyones homehype , especially of our bellydancers kind, who in fact are taken as strident strppin outta budget low life magggots and stuff even up this day as in many parts of the planet womans are, its a disco show i think , and nevah on earth they gonna make you reach you catch up real consience cause thats your job

[skeezystyke]

@slidinstonersecret this is one of the worst comments ive seen on youtube. hahah

[slidinstonersecret]

@skeezystyke oh man, such disapointment, I thought it was genius!

[hathorrox]

haha what a great idea!

[MsTallulah17]

If only Rachel Brice was in this. Because Zoe is getting really old and is not nearly the dancer that Rachel is. None of these girls come close. Sorry! and what and insult to the Mayans.

[gphs2012a]

@MsTallulah17 Hey fuckoff for bashing Zoe and everything else. Karma is a bitch. BEATS ROCK

[lehman]

green suits are the least flattering piece of clothing, lol
