TECHNO-TRIBAL DANCE
The Legendary Techno-Tribal Dance Goes Interstellar ? Again!
http://www.mysticbeatlounge.com
Once a year there comes a Saturday night like no other, when the fabulous Techno-Tribal Dance takes flight in 21st Century sound and light in the vast cathedral of Grace Pavilion. A sea of costumed, dancing people celebrate the moment to the music of top electronica artists, their eyes filled with jewels by a full spectrum laser array and vast airy beings that hang in space, painted with light and sailing in the sound field. Fire spinners dazzle the eye as daring aerialists soar through the dark reaches above the pulsing crowd, whose bones vibrate with massive bass beats. Then gorgeous goddesses and dream beings on stilts cut a path through the happy dancers, bringing with them an element of ? what? Ritual? Magic? It?s the birth of something so novel we cannot name it, but we know we want it and it is here!
The 8th annual production of the Techno-Tribal Dance brings an international line-up of artists never and nowhere before presented together, including:
SHPONGLE

After years of anticipation, Schpongle?s second album, 'Tales of the Inexpressible' a recorded capture of this live experience, will be released soon.
In 2007 Shpongle has been selling out huge venues, in Australia, Israel, New York, Pittursburg, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Moscow, Geneva, Montreal, and Tokyo ? and now Santa Rosa?s acclaimed Techno-Tribal Dance.

MALARKEY
Malarkey is an old Irish slang word used in the 1920's as an expression equivalent to jive, gibberish, or nonsense. All guff aside; Patrick Malone (aka Malarkey) is one of the hardest working DJ's to recently emerge out of the north bay area. Take classic funk and fuse it with urban break beat drum patterns, add a dash of hip hop and you have what many are calling nu-school funk, in which this turntable jedi is pioneering on the west coast ever so relentlessly.
