Black Tiger Sex Machine Block Party

Black Tiger Sex Machine brings its dark, aggressive electronic sound to San Francisco for a block-party edition of the group's signature live show. The Montreal-based trio—Marc Chagnon, Julien Maranda and Patrick Barry—are known for aggressive, dark electronic music and for wearing illuminated tiger helmets during performances. Their set is built around a central mixer, drum machines, launchpads and keyboards, with lights synced to the music, so this is far more than a DJ playing records.

As the heads of Kannibalen Records, BTSM have a deep catalogue to draw from, ranging from early releases like Drama to recent albums like Futuristic Thriller. Their festival pedigree spans Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Forest, Lost Lands and Osheaga, and this block-party appearance brings that big-stage energy to a close-up setting. Fans of dark electronic music can expect a theatrical, full-sensory show from a trio that treats a live performance as an experience.
