There's a really cool run of shows happening this weekend in one of the country's hotbeds for electronic music – Colorado! The state boasts one of the best venues in the world, Red Rocks, as well as one of its better night clubs in Beta.
It's no wonder it's a destination on almost every major act's tour. It comes with little surprise then that one of South Africa's biggest acts and purveyors of live electronica, Goldfish, are coming to the state, along with jackLNDN. This is one of those shows that may slip under the radar, but it shouldn't, as Goldfish are really unique in what they do.
The live band duo essentially pioneered the vibes and grooves that sparked the tropical/saxophone house wave in Europe earlier this decade -they've been playing their signature live show since 2007, even notching a Pacha residency with David Guetta in 2008, a year or two before the wider ‘EDM' boom in North America. Live saxophone and instrumentation is done as an afterthought or as a lazy transition by a DJ, and the fact that Goldfish has been doing it from day one makes them so much more appealing as a live act. The dudes have a thick discography, too, with their latest track being a collaboration with Bakermat earlier this year.
Goldfish will be playing Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs, essentially hitting the entire metro region, go here to grab your tickets.
