The Mutaytor: Playa Playground

What do you get when you combine 100 tribal drums, live-mixed electronica,fire performers, hoop dancers, aerial artists, John Avila (Oingo Boingo) on bass, Steve Reid (Rippingtons/Supertramp) on percussion, a live horn section, Chinese parade lions, giant screen visuals and a bevy of interactive dancers and performers?

The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes drastically advanced elements of the Grateful Dead, Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Louis Prima and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment notable for "turning Civilians into Rockstars." The sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. They are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd. There's nothing like the Mutaytor in show business today and they'll probably have to spin off parts of itself in order to have any competition in the future.

The Mutaytor is like a birthday in Vegas, Halloween and New Year's rolled into every show. Adaptable to any stage or circumstance they are poised to remake the formula and raise the bar for what you should expect from a concert experience. The vibe they put over an audience has a way of mellowing the sourest disposition and untying the straitest lace. And with that in mind, The Mutaytor brings the labor and love, the lights and sound and color of the greatest show to surround you, no matter if you're in front of the stage, getting pulled onto a gogo box, petting the Chinese parade lion, or sitting in the balcony looking face to face with a flying aerialist whooshing past with a wink in her eye.

"Mutayshun...because evolution takes too long."

They are such a fun and talented group. I loved hooping with them in Seattle.
