FUTURE-BAND THE BEOP TO PERFORM VIA LIVE PORTAL AT CUBA DUPA 2015
The Beop are a band like no other. Performing with extra-ordinary instruments from the 7th dimension, they communicate their songs through time via a hi-tech physical structure that enables their transmogrification to bring electronic future-punk to the people of the 21st Century.
With fans as high-ranking as contemporary composer John Psathas (who penned the music for the opening ceremony of the XXVIII Olympiad), the Beop bring a positive future-punk energy to blow minds and unite hearts in the present realm.
The band has amassed a diverse range of multimedia projects, from a digital book -- Beop: The Novel -- to their recently developed live portal show. This unique group were selected as finalists for their song ‘We Are OK’ in the electronic category of the prestigious 2014 John Lennon Songwriting Contest in New York, chaired by Yoko Ono and judged by George Clnton, Bootsy Collins and the Black Eyed Peas. The chant spread like viral wildfire through the tubes of the internet, the chant of ‘we are okay’ a peaceful pop rebellion unifying humanity amidst the complexity of the modern age.
Beop are soon to commence their first major live communication with the 21st Century, through a timed opening in a specially engineered portal at Wellington’s immersive inner-city festival, Cuba Dupa over 28 and 29 March 2015. After aeons of careful engineering rigorous testing at a secret location, the portal is ready for the imminent arrival of these joyful shamen. In anticipation of the event, the Beop Portal has been granted air traffic control clearance from Wellington Airport: “There will be some light activity over the Cuba Street precinct as the portal opens”, says spokesperson for the airport. “This is an exciting time for Wellington, witnessing the arrival of new modes of travel.”
