After a successful run in March, Dutch electro trio NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM prepares to once again invade the US for the summer festival circuit and select headline shows. Vice/HP’s Creators Project reported “The lively electronic trio garnered tremendous reception from fresh crowds at both SXSW and Ultra Music Festival”, claiming them to be, “Amsterdam’s most mind-altering export.”
NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM is production duo Sjam Sjamsoedin, Jori Collignon, and visual artist/video director Rogier van der Zwaag. Starting May 12, they embark on an 8 week tour that will stretch 12,000 miles of the US and Canadian landscape, with few cities missing out on the group’s mix of hypnotic beats and multi-genre blending live sets. This tour will also see the US debut of the group’s nine screen live projection system known as the Telenovem Automaton 333″, aptly named for its captivating visual experience spanning 333 inches in diameter.
Along the tour at festivals like The Hangout, Sasquatch, Wakarusa, Spring Awakening, Governors Ball, Electric Forest, Montreal International Jazz Fest, Quebec City Summer Fest, and Camp Bisco, NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM will perform along with electro heavyweights like Skrillex, A-Trak, Diplo, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Thievery Corporation and more. Additional shows of note include headliners at LA’s Dim Mak Live, Belly Up Aspen, and Bassmentality Toronto, with supporting slots to Skrillex and Wolfgang Gartner in Canada. Come out to a show and find out why Consequence of Sound calls the band “The future of Dutch dance music”.
