Thievery Corporation

So, I've been a fan of these guys for years, not a huge fan mind you, but I like most of what I've heard from them. I never really gave too much thought to their live show, never having had the opportunity to see them. I figured it was just the two djs on stage, but oh how wrong I am. These guys are a serious band. Horns, rappers, sexy brazilian singer, sitar(!), guitar, bass, percussion. Damn. I am really pumped for this now. That is, I can only assume they'll bring the whole band since their headlining. If it's just a dj set I will be severely disappointed.







I for one am excited, I just hope they bring the band.

You need not worry my friend, it is full band live and likely with sexy dancers

Don't know much about them but have heard good things. I'll have to look into them a bit

Not bad, but hardly headliner worthy.

I've seen them live 3 times now. I'm surprised they're a headliner, but I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

They literally have 5+ different singers that they rotate basically every song. So one song you'll hear reggae, the next is a French Canadian woman, the next is a Brazilian woman, the next will be hip hop reggae stuff. It's as if you're a dance party that's traveling around the world.


Last summer when I saw them in Portland they allowed anybody and everybody to come up on stage with them and dance it out.

as you can see in this horrible video I found on YouTube

That is pretty much how I try to live my life.
