Here we are, kids. We are dizzy from all the zig-zag traveling insanity that was the spring of 2010. You are all amazing, every last one of you, and we are coming to discover…that’s alot of freakin people! LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE, brought to you by THE DO LAB, was insane…we blew a hole through our own minds with an epic finale that included well-dressed animal safari on a floating island with YOU as the sea, and a unicorn with a defiant expression of triumph right at the perfect moment. We even brought a ten foot tall spaceman onstage with his worshipping animal friends at HIGH SIERRA MUSIC FESTIVAL. BIG BOUNCE at the town of belden, now that’s where things got stoopid! David in drag with 3 crazy horse ladies booty dancing to some serious SISSY BOUNCE remixes, you could actually hear the record scratch as our confused fans did a double take, then TOTALLY FREAKED OUT!!!!
We partied renegade-style at the epic PRICELESS festival, playing a surprise set for fans and friends, as well doing some serious surprise partying with the hot babes SHAWNA and PHOEBE of FIVE and DIAMOND. Not to forget about our Colorado kids, we high-tailed it to SONIC BLOOM and after many issues and hours with airline nastiness we slid in by the skin of our teeth, drums, costumes and assorted musical instruments (minus a turkish banjo which didn’t catch the plane) landing perfectly in their places, right on time.
Louieville…we love you and your sticky sweaty insanity you call home. Zoe’s face practically melted off mid-show, david danced barefoot, and Tommy swung those sticks like hell through our first show in Kentucky. We will definitely be back! And New York…you surprised the shit outta us. really:
1.Le Poisson Rouge was clean (a Clean NY venue…that’s weird)
2. 400 freaking people came out!
3. 400 freaking people came out!
but more surprises were in store for us. CAMP BISCO was the most unexpected and wonderful surprise…you kids are so nice and jeez you melted our hearts. We could get used to it over here on the east coast. Our set started with a rather small but nice sized group, but throughout our set we watched with amazement as more and more of you kept coming from all directions until it was packed with dancing kids freaking out…we didn’t even know we had fans in upstate NY. Turns out we’ve got alot of them, and seems like we made some seriously awesome new ones!
And hanging out backstage with our buddy Bassnectar, Elliot, and the ever jolly Trevor was good times. Bassnectar schooled us later that night with a set that ripped our brains out and womped us till we almost passed out. Apparently this guy is like a fine wine…gets better with age, dontcha think? Oh, and Major Lazer and gang are freaks…we mean that in the best possible way.
NEW ALBUM UPDATE!!!
We’ve been teasing you for long enough…expect our latest offering within the month, a full length album crammed full of that tantalizing new music you have been hearing at our shows . We have been busting our asses to make it worth the wait. We are looking for people to help spread the word, and if you are interested in being part of our team, send an email to: bastreeteam@gmail.com

Hello,
Beats Antique has a brand new LIVE video from our show at the Lucent L’mour Fesival by the Do Lab in Los Angeles on Valentines Day !!! We wanted to do something a little crazy. So me made some costumes remixed an old love song by Bobby Rydell and had Pegasus serenaded Queen Cupid as she shot her love streamers all over the crowd!!! We needed to express our love somehow and it seemed to work out that night !!!
The Music is a mashup starting with a new Beats Antique track on The Trunk Archives called “Waisted” going into a Remix of “All i want is you” by Bobby Rydell !!!

Wow….SXSW was crazy! We were definitely dropped in the middle of mayhem doing 3 back to back shows with acts like Broken Bells (Feat. Danger Mouse and James Mercer of the Shins), Metric, Rye Rye, The Cool Kids, RUSKO (who got stuck in Denver) and not to mention super UK stadium rockers MUSE!!!? We were honored to share the stage with so many amazing artists. We also had the pleasure of John Popper of Blues Traveler sit in and rage and epic dirty harmonica solo!!!
Hot off the Press from SXSW !!!
NPR, URB and The Chicago Times all had some things to say about our SXSW shows!!!
