Balkan Beat Box has no problem filling venues like Webster Hall to capacity, with the crowd getting close as they sweat it out to electronic music and Balkan brass-band stomp.
But for their next New York show, the Brooklyn-based band is scaling things back, playing the Gowanus venue The Bell House June 7 in what promises to be a more intimate show, with a bigger, electrifying sound.
The band, comprised of Jewish, Gypsy, Arabic and American members, will primarily be playing cuts from their mysterious-new-record-in-progress, and “Nu Made,” a mix of dub, Moroccan and Mediterranean melodies and hip hop.
“Our backgrounds are super wide and you will get a totally different one from each band member,” says one of the band’s leaders, Tamir Muskat, naming punk rock, traditional Gypsy & Arabic music, Yaman melodies and dance hall beats as some of the ingredients that go into making BBB’s sound so distinct and grooving.
Don’t miss out for what’s a guaranteed good time in Brooklyn.
Balkan Beat Box play The Bell House (149 7th St.) June 7 with DJ Joro Boro, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $25 and can bet purchased in advance here. The show is 21 plus. For more information, call 718-643-6510.
