MSTRKRFT: mixing it up in Boulder

Written by Sara Kassabian in Entertainment on Mar 15, 2009 18:28 / comments

Crazy beats and creative remixes will be heard blasting through the doors of the Fox Theatre on The Hill as electronica band MSTRKRAFT takes the stage.

This two-man, fast-paced jam band will perform with Felix Cartal at 1135 13th Street Sunday, March 15.

The band members and Canadian natives, Jesse Keeler and his partner Al-P are known for their unique sounding dance anthems. By combining original beats with sound bits from songs of popular artists such as Lady Gaga, John Legend and Andre 3000, MSTRKRAFT creates entirely original electronic music such as highly popular song, “Easy Love.” The duo was also nominated for a Grammy for the “best remix” for their work on the song “Woman” by Annie and Wolfmother.

Tickets to see MSTRKRFT spin these and other hit songs are $22.00 in advance or $25.00 at the door. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and the show begins at 9:00 p.m. To order tickets online or to find out more information about either MSTRKRFT or the Fox Theatre visit www.foxtheatre.com.
