The Upbeats (LIVE*) AlbumRelease Event - Wellington

The Upbeats collaborate with VJ Optibreak and guest vocalists to bring together a high energy live show encompassing all of the elements of their second album. The sophomore release is a concept album that follows a story penned by the musicians turned scribes.

Performing live matters as much to The Upbeats as producing great music. Their electric live performance has seen The Upbeats tour Europe four times, the US thrice, another stop in Japan and numerous trips around New Zealand and Australia. Along the way The Upbeats have played alongside the cream of international drum’n’bass, notably Grooverider, Andy C, Roni Size, Pendulum, DJ Hype, Zinc, DieselBoy, Concord Dawn, Shapeshifter and Bad Company.

"We tour as much as we can," says Jones." We want to push a performance envelope that is a step beyond what people could normally expect from a drum'n'bass set."

"And then there's the visual element," adds Glenn. "A guy called Optibreak plays with us and he mixes images from the album's artwork, some of the animations from our first video – Nobody's Out There – and helps us create a total package. For us, performing live is such an important part of what we do, we love putting on an intense and energetic show."
