Black Tiger Sex Machine In Concert

Black Tiger Sex Machine cuts an unmistakable profile. There are the masks, for one thing: sleek, stylized feline heads emblazoned with LED eyes glowing white and red. On stage, they seem to float in the darkness, bobbing in time with their slow-motion dubstep beats. The masks are the ultimate proof of the way the Montreal trio has managed to create an entire universe around its menacing brand of bass music. A BTSM concert isn't just a show — it's an adventure in sci-fi world-building.

BTSM — Marc Chagnon, Julien Maranda, and Patrick Barry — got their start in 2011 with the ‘Drama' EP, a slinky fusion of electro house and filter disco, but their music soon turned darker. The ‘Studs, Spikes & Blood' EP from 2012 introduced hints of acid and warehouse rave, and by 2015's "Religion," the group's sound throbbed over lurching dubstep rhythms. 

All the while, their live shows were making them a force to be reckoned with, taking them to Electric Forest, Lollapalooza, TomorrowWorld, and other influential electronic music festivals around the globe. In 2016, they put out their debut album ‘Welcome to Our Church' on their own Kannibalen label, their longtime headquarters. They followed that with ‘New Worlds' in 2018, fleshing out a long-running narrative of a zombie apocalypse in songs like "Replicants" and "Artificial Intelligence."

Their masks, fashioned by Montreal industrial designer Gabriel Hebert, place them in the ranks of Daft Punk and deadmau5 — artists with a keen grasp of compelling visual communications. Their live shows are just as spectacular, incorporating MIDI controllers with CDJs and live electronic drum pads. 

As BTSM fans (dubbed "the Church") can attest, the group's concerts are enveloping affairs. They may be hard to tear your gaze away from, but the real action is in the heaving, head-banging crowd, where the trio's apocalyptic beats land like the zombie gospel.

    Best BTSM set to date

    by Shyza on 3/2/20Tabernacle presented by Cricket Wireless - Atlanta

    We had perfect seats at the Tabernacle. Center stage second floor balcony. Perfect view. The screen behind the guys was crystal clear and the lighting was amazing. The music was easily the best dubstep/brostep set I’ve ever heard from any artist and I’ve been to quite a few. They worked hard for this and made a really cool experience with the music, the lighting, and the addition of film.

    Probably won’t be coming back.

    by rockyyhorror on 2/4/20Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    Too many people for the venue’s size. Dealt with pushing and shoving people the whole time. It was too hot and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I recommend selling enough tickets to allow people room to breathe.

    Still dreaming of Church / ceremony tour killed it

    by Jaxx44 on 10/2/18House of Blues San Diego presented by Cricket Wireless - San Diego

    One of the best shows I’ve been to in a long time. The belasco show ended at 2:15am and this show ended at 11:30 which was disappointing. Fun small intimate venue with the best headliners. BTSM makes you not want to miss a moment of their set.

    Apashe, Kai Watchi & BTSM were UNREAL

    by AlexandraCassandra on 3/12/18Deluxe at Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    Definitely had an existential crisis just attempting to comprehend this concert. As someone who likes to frequent electronic concerts and festivals, this was one of the best shows I have ever been fortunate enough to attend. All 3 artists were non-stop incredible, I write this review four days later and my back is still sore. If you are any sort of a headbanger, these artists are for you.
