THIEVERY CORPORATION IN CONCERT:
Lounge and electronica collective Thievery Corporation capture the sleek sounds of the international set with their chilled-out beats, worldly sonic palette, and lush synthscapes. Their mesmerizing and eclectic mix of bossa nova, acid jazz, trip hop, and a host of other genres had crate-diggers drooling with jealousy between sets at their 2013 shows, reminding fans just why they're one of downtempo's most beloved acts. With a highly anticipated new album due out in 2014, Thievery Corporation are set to blow minds once again on their upcoming North American tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Washington, DC's Rob Garza and Eric Hilton formed Thievery Corporation in 1995 as an outlet for their shared love of acid jazz, dub reggae, and Brazilian musical traditions. Using Hilton's Eighteenth Street Lounge as a base of operations, their early mixing sessions were a huge success, resulting in their 1997 debut album Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi. While the album was a minor success, it was their second record, The Mirror Conspiracy, that really put them on the map, led by the sweltering single "Lebanese Blond." Since then, they have continued to pioneer new directions in downtempo, headlining some of the world's biggest festivals and establishing themselves as legends of the genre.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"So talented and entertaining. Definitely worth seeing them live again soon."
"Absolutely rocked the place. Collaboration of old tunes with new and energetic stuff made it so special and enjoyable. The place was jamming! Loved it!"
"This is the third time I've seen Thievery Corporation and I must say they are one of the BEST live acts I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. If you have not seen them live you are doing yourself a horrible disservice."

Enjoyed the music, performance and venue. I was a little put off that the 8pm show started at 9:20….I thought those days were in the past. The guy mixing tunes that was (I guess) the opening act was likable but not for that long. When Thievery Corp started it was so loud it actually hurt my ears. Should’ve brought ear plugs I guess? But also the sound was not clear enough that the words were audible- very muffled. All of that said, I loved the tunes amd made the best of it. Enjoyable crowd.
My first time at Brooklyn Bowl, it is a fantastic venue, the layout is great. Thievery Corporation never disappoints, they sounded great.
Fun evening, cool venue, great show. Gotta wonder about doing Lebanese Blonde as the first song, tho.
Thievery Corporation always puts on an amazing show & this show was no exception. 5 stars for them for sure! However; whoever decided to have them at a venue this small was smoking crack. Way too many people for this space. Couldn't get through the crowd to get a drink or get to the restrooms. The set-up at Brooklyn Bowl isn't great with one side close-in for the bowling alleys. Should've been at Union Transfer or the Fillmore. These venue set-ups are more conducive to a crowd this size. Just because the venue can hold a certain # of people legally, doesn't mean it should.
Outstanding show again! I would like nothing more than to see them live every 6 months!!
I’ve seen Thievery many times at the House of Blues. This venue was poor on many levels the oppressive Columbus mana that block the stage,sound, light, big bar next to a stage. I may have as well been in a casino. Cheap venue.
It was awesome It was so awesome It was really awesome
Notes from last evening's show. City of the Sun opened the show. They had no singer. They had no roadie. They had no spare guitar. But boy, did they deliver. I describe their style as sonic latino ambient instrumental rock. Oh, and they can be jazzy or funky as well. I believe they were/are a trio but now have added a second guitarist who brings the band into a new dimension. They were simply amazing live. It's huge to be able to grab and keep the attention of 700 people, never mind breaking a string on the first song, your songs don't have lyrics or a singer, and you don't have a backup guitar or roadie. The did not miss a beat. Extensive use of effects colored their sound in just the right way. They even got back to their roots with a few older tunes jamming on acoustic guitars and cajon drum. Oh yeah, the headliner, Thievery Corporation never disappoints. Heavy electronic beats, thumping bass, snappy-grooving drums, ultimate percussion by Frank Orrall (Poi Dog Pondering), occasional sitar, innovative guitar, and a handful of intense vocalists who take turns commanding the stage and the audience. I've seen them twice and I believe they are one of the best live acts out there - trust me on this.
Bad sound, couldn’t hear the vocalists, it’s a shame, as I wanted to enjoy the music. Is this a recurring problem in this venue?
