[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] Think of it like a modern, electro version of what Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band pulled off 40+ years ago during the disco era. Portland’s Sepiatonic takes a similar approach by marrying a current dance floor pulse to vaudevillian theatrics, complete with brass blasts and swinging time signatures—voila, a sound is born! Add in some choreography and, well, you’ve got quite a spectacle. A trio at the core, Sepiatonic apparently operates like a collective, the size of the troupe varying depending on the needs of a given gig. With belly dancer and burlesque artist, Karolina Lux, as their producer, the soundtrack reaches into other territories to keep things fresh, melding together elements of klezmer, New Orleans brass, hip-hop and electronica, resulting in a sonic smorgasbord that’s a refreshing good time. Treat yourself, tonight, Wednesday, September 26 at the new Rec Room on Chippewa.
