AudioBody show will wow you

FRYEBURG - AudioBody is the fusion of hilarious physical comedy and mind blowing technology, all held together with fun upbeat music that will have audiences of all ages asking for more. Finding a show to compare them to can be difficult but some have dubbed it “A modern-day Smothers Brothers meets Blue Man Group.” Armed with a collection of futuristic instruments, brothers Matt and Jason Tardy take the stage in an attempt to create the ultimate musical performance, only to find themselves at odds with their own unruly musical inventions. Sibling rivalry, technological mishaps and outrageous happenings collide on stage to create a show full of relentless comedy, amazing stunts, up-beat music, and even a few accidental moments of pure visual beauty.

Enlisting the energy of an atomic bomb and the creativity of DaVinci himself, the Tardy brothers made their debut under the name AudioBody in 2004 with the album, "Sound. Motion. Theater.” Music from the album was quickly picked-up by internationally acclaimed film-makers, EepyBird, and featured in two Emmy nominated videos depicting The Extreme Diet Coke and Mentos Experiments.

The burst of popularity was quite unexpected and they scrambled to fill the thousands of CD orders that came in from all over the world. For a period of about two months "Sound. Motion. Theater" was the number one selling album from the largest independent distributor in the country. This was soon followed by countless TV credits including VH1, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, Inside Edition, MythBusters, and G4TV.

In 2007 AudioBody released their second album called "Do Something Difficult," boasting 15 new songs of their funky techno-rock, including a remix of the ever-popular "You Gotta Tap."

With over 15 years of experience in the performing arts, the members of AudioBody have performed all over the world. Highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, NV and even The White House in Washington, DC three times. They come to the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 20 at 7:30 p.m. for one amazing show. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and $30 for a family of four.
