FLYING LOTUS IN CONCERT:

Genre-spanning producer and rapper Flying Lotus has quickly become one of the most influential and innovative producers in experimental hip hop. His spacious, trippy productions take on new dimensions at his mesmerizing live shows, where an extensive setup of software and hardware instruments provides him with an arsenal of mind-expanding sounds to manipulate. On tour in 2014 in support of his fifth album You're Dead!, Flying Lotus will treat ticket buyers to new cuts from the release alongside classic fan favorites like "Massage Situation" and "Tea Leaf Dancers".

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Los Angeles-born Flying Lotus, a.k.a. Steven Ellison, hails from a long line of musicians -- his great aunt and uncle were jazz legends Alice and John Coltrane. He made his debut in 2006 with the album 1983, impressing critics with his unique IDM-meets-hip hop sound and attracting the attention of label execs at Warp Records, who signed him the following year. His popularity continued to grow with his 2008 sophomore album Los Angeles, and in 2010 he cracked the Top 20 of the independent charts with his third album Cosmogramma. By the time he began work on his fourth album Until the Quiet Comes, his reputation as a producer had attracted big-name collaborators like Thom Yorke and Erykah Badatu. Th album was a huge critical and commercial success, topping year-end lists and earning him crossover success with a Top 40 spot on the Billboard 200. Flying Lotus thrilled fans in summer of 2014 with the announcement of his fifth album You're Dead, which he'll accompany with a highly anticipated US tour.

    Plagued by sound issues

    by ibringthedesign on 11/14/17Madison Theater - Covington

    They were scrambling to put the stage together through the entire 1st act, stalled even further with some knock off skrillex dj, then couldn't get the sound right for half of Fly Lo's set. Bass was way too loud, you couldn't hear half the layers, his mic had crazy feedback... It was really sloppy but he pushed through. I would have been pretty bummed about this show if the visuals weren't so good. Definitely need to catch him again when everything is working correctly.

    Worst concert I've ever been to

    by FlyLoFails on 11/14/17Madison Theater - Covington

    Event said doors at 7, show at 8. Huge line outside theater in the cold and doors didn't open till around 8:30. Show didn't start until maybe 10 and instead of THUNDERCAT opening there were 2 pretty bad djs. All during the opening sets there was stage crew fixing stuff. Fly lo made a few appearances during the openers but didn't play any music and kept going off stage until he came on officially around 11:30. When he finally came on he kept having sound and mic issues and literally got into a shouting match with the tech people off to the side. The whole crowd was rowdy and drunk and kept yelling that the music wasn't loud enough. Overall just an actually terrible experience. The visuals were cool but I would have paid maybe $10 for the show I saw and definitely wouldn't have driven an hour and a half to see any of these performers.

    Worth the wait

    by Tydog69 on 11/14/17Madison Theater - Covington

    Even though the openers were trash, Flylo always brings the funk and the best light show in the business bar none. I think of Montreal and GWAR are the only acts thay come close to the stage show Flylo puts on. Great set with lots of nuggets for electronic music heads and anime fans.

    Loved Flylo, the rest not so much

    by morgomacaroni on 11/8/17Echostage - Washington

    Flylo only played for about an hour, one of his openers was decent but the rest were just not what I expected. Got some conscious hip-hop when I paid to hear some experimental EDM, was a bit disappointed. Flylo put on a great show albeit it being a bit short. Would see him again.

    What a heartfelt, courageous, inspiring, creative soul. I got to shake Steven's hand, as he did with many awestruck fans.Show was incredible. So So Topic was a great opener and has a bright future. Beyond words so why am I trying.

    Mind-Altering.

    by ErikAsch on 11/7/17Electric Factory - Philadelphia

    I have no words to do the show justice. I've only seen a handful of people perform, but this was the best show by-far. It was exactly what you might expect from Flying Lotus, surreal electronic music creator, movie director, pairing up with psychedelic visuals. In 3D. If shows get any better, we're going to start having to make them illegal.

    FlyLo Brought the Mojo

    by CheetahEye on 11/7/17Electric Factory - Philadelphia

    Infectious grooves, trippy 3-D visuals and an enthusiastic crowd made for a great evening of entertainment. The mojo was there. Would recommend seeing this artist live.

    Atrocious

    by Loconto on 9/19/16Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    One of the worst concert experiences I've ever had. Flying Lotus was so loud it was deafening. I spoke with two venue employees outside who said in their years of working at the Fox this was the single loudest show they've ever been to. Additionally there was a blinding white light they kept flashing right in the audience's eyes. I left feeling horrified and violated.

    FlyLo. Blows Minds At The Wiltern

    by hhillsbill on 11/17/14The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    Flying Lotus brought his audio visual experience to the Wiltern and broke new ground on what a concert should be. Situated in a cube with immersive visuals surrounding him this was the closest thing to a psychedelic trip while still being sober that you can get. The only downside was when he stepped outside and rapped on a few songs. This broke the spell he had cast and kind of stalled things but still kudos to him for creating an entirely new music by combining EDM, Jazz,Rock,Noise and genres as yet unheard. I can't say I understand what he's doing but I like it!

    FLYLO melted mind at terminal 5

    by dannyboytellem on 10/22/14Terminal 5 - New York

    Great venue for flylo. The light show projected on his dj booth/cube was too gnarly, and his set was perfect to match. Sold out crowd but the vibes were all good (usual knuckle heads you run into during shows but nothing crazy). Thundercat always did a great opening set, and Hannibal doing a couple jokes was a nice surprise. Its my second time catching flying lotus at terminal 5 and like last time it was a dope show.
