The MUTAYTOR - Traveling Theatrical and Musical Review

What do you get when you combine 100 tribal drums, live-mixed electronica,fire performers, hoop dancers, aerial artists, John Avila (Oingo Boingo) on bass, Steve Reid (Rippingtons/Supertramp) on percussion, a live horn section, Chinese parade lions, giant screen visuals and a bevy of interactive dancers and performers?

The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes drastically advanced elements of the Grateful Dead, Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Louis Prima and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment notable for "turning Civilians into Rockstars." The sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. They are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd. There's nothing like the Mutaytor in show business today!

The band's modular structure and effortless adaptability allows for shows ranging in size from roving hand percussionists and dancers at intimate events to full-sized stadium shows with giant propane cannons. They've put on performances of varying size for clients including the L.A. Lakers, Cirque Du Soleil (Varekai and Zumanity openings), Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount Studios, Universal Theme Parks, E3 Video Game Convention, the Billboard DECA Awards and the Special Olympics. They've entertained at casinos, street fairs, underground parties, schools, universities, music therapy drum circles with disabled kids, mainstream movie premieres, film festivals, radio-sponsored festivals and trade shows. Miraculous, even by Hollywood standards, but mundane stuff indeed compared to the Mutaytor's origins.

The Mutaytor is like a birthday in Vegas, Halloween and New Year's rolled into every show. Adaptable to any stage or circumstance they are poised to remake the formula and raise the bar for what you should expect from a concert experience. The vibe they put over an audience has a way of mellowing the sourest disposition and untying the straitest lace. And with that in mind, The Mutaytor brings the labor and love, the lights and sound and color of the greatest show to surround you, no matter if you're in front of the stage, getting pulled onto a gogo box, petting the Chinese parade lion, or sitting in the balcony looking face to face with a flying aerialist whooshing past with a wink in her eye.

What People Are Saying
"You over-delivered and exceeded our every expectation every step of the way. To anyone in the corporate or entertainment world considering enlisting Mutaytor in their events, my advice is do so NOW - while you still can! These folks are destined for something big and they have both the talent and the smarts to get there."
-Fred SChmidt, NC Soft (E3 Video Game Convention)

"One of the hottest stage shows in LA, The Mutaytor is taking the West Coast by storm."
-ABC Television Eye On LA

"The perfect opener for our pre-game show, and your music and performance dazzled all 18,000 fans in attendance! We received great feedback from both fans and co-workers including our CEO Tim Leiweke, who insisted that Mutaytor make a return appearance."
-Benjamin Peirce, LA Kings/Staples Center

"This act is unique, and arguably one of the best live shows running on the West Coast. The show is a must-see for anyone who likes to be entertained and moved viscerally. Indeed, The Mutaytor is as entertaining as the Blue Man Group."
-Lauri Shaw, Music Connection

"The Mutaytor, a troupe of drummers, percussionists and performance artists, provided another of the evening's pleasant surprises. Joining Grateful Dead drummers and Jammy Awards co-hosts Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman, The Mutaytor's dozen or so members gave proper thunder to a cover of Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Chile'."
-Earvolution (Jammy's)

"At the Henry Fonda Theater, there were enough audience members in Burning Man regalia to blur the line between performers and audience. During the show there is no leader, in the traditional sense, just a bunch of highly talented people who look like they are having the time of their lives. The Mutaytor executes live stunts that extend the boundary of what is thought possible in a traveling show."
-Forrest Reda, Jambase

"You amazed our guests with your loud, powerful, energetic act, and it was the highlight of the evening. The Mutaytor truly is a one-of-a-kind experience to remember."
-Ken Heidt, Paramount Studios

"Pick Of The Week: The Mutaytor's thundering tribal-techno music offers a serious assault."
-LA Weekly

"The Mutaytor is a model of dedication to building bridges between diverse communities and cultures. I commend their contribution toward the cultural growth of this great city."
-Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, City Of Los Angeles

"Your dazzling performances, part of the celebration of the premiere parties of our shows Varekai in Los Angeles and Zumanity in Las Vegas were magnificent...You're the best, I adore you!"
-Elizabeth-Ann Doyle, Cirque du Soleil

"Your group's performance was the highlight of the event and was the talk of the town during the entire trade show. Providing a show that will appeal to guests from all around the world is never easy, but you delivered."
-Brian Pope, Universal Studios

"We knew when we saw you at Coachella that you were the perfect group for our event (The World Stunt Awards at the Paramount Lot). We value your professionalism and your ability to be flexible."
-Erika Primeau, Hypnosis Productions
