Group drink specials and 3D stage designs will complement electronic dance music Friday night at Club Stereo.
EOTO will headline the night’s concert with a three-hour, mostly improvised set.
According to its website, EOTO is a West Coast-based duo comprised of Michael Travis and Jason Hann.
On its Bass Invaders tour, EOTO is using the tagline “All Improvised, All the Time!” to describe its nonscripted, freestyle performances.
A part of that innovative performance technology is the Lotus Stage, an interactive 3D platform that displays psychedelic and nature-inspired visuals while EOTO performs. The stage has become one of this tour’s main attractions since its introduction earlier this year.
Journalism senior Samantha Doucette first became a fan of the duo when she saw them perform at Blackwater Music Festival in September 2011.
“I was in complete awe that two live musicians were able to create such a diverse range of sounds,” said Doucette. “They know how to convey emotion in the most sincere way, and it’s not just happy emotion. They cover sadness, anger and darkness.”
When Doucette saw EOTO last year, the duo had not yet introduced the Lotus Stage.
“I’m really excited to see [the Lotus Stage] because I’ve heard that it’s an exciting visual bonus with the music,” she said.
Ticket packages are available for large groups, according to Matthew Zingler, co-founder of Dope Entertainment, the show’s organizer.
Advance tickets, which cost $15, can be purchased at Swamp Dragon Tobacco & Gifts, 818 W. University Ave.
All EOTO concerts are recorded and made available as $10 downloads. Advance ticket purchasers will be able to redeem a free download of the show.
