An Onyx Production

Prepare to be violently impressed when master musician Gene Peterson, goes head to head with multi instrumentalist Adam Page, in this phenomenal musical showdown. In this 100 minute jam-packed performance, the audience will be treated to a plethora of amazing skills, from simultaneously playing keyboards and drums, to Tibetan throat singing, to using a variety of vegetables as musical instruments!!

Set in a boxing ring, complete with blue & red corners, ‘Loop the Loop’ showcases a musical battle like no other.  As each artist attempts to out-play the other with their multitude of musical abilities, they continually record their music into a loop pedal, creating the aural illusion of an entire band playing live! Both performers from 'Loop the Loop' are virtuoso musicians in their own right, and have each toured nationally and internationally, performed at festivals worldwide and have accumulated countless awards and accolades along the way. As the competition is fierce, the musicians are forced to pull their best tricks out of their arsenal! ‘Loop the Loop’ also features a high level of comedy, and audiences can look forward to marvelling at the outrageous skills displayed, whilst being tickled by the humour.

Sometimes quirky, often hilarious, at times unbelievable, but always impressive, 'Loop the Loop' offers the ultimate performance package.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see two of Australia’s finest musicians go head to head, in this hilarious concert for all ages!

“It’s fun, ingenious and like nothing you have seen before… a unique musical event for the whole family not to be missed” - Echo

 

‘Loop the Loop’ premiered in April, 2010, at the Byron Bay Community Centre, and has instantly hit success, with over 140 performances & workshops scheduled in 2011, with touring from March till November. This will see ‘Loop the Loop’ travel through every state of the county, as well as Christmas Island & the Coco Islands, entertaining audiences Australia-wide with their hilarious musical battle. The cast of ‘Loop the Loop’ will also be conducting workshops in each town they visit, teaching local youth how to make music from ‘Found Sound’. In these exciting and hands-on master classes, attendees will be shown how to turn any household item, or even vegetable, in to a musical instrument - an excellent exercise in musical creativity, without the price-tag of expensive equipment.
