A Tribe Called Red

What: A Tribe Called Red, a young urban native group in concert, featuring special guests World Hood! When: Sunday, April 6th, 2014 / Doors at 8pm / Music at 9pm
 Where: Mateel Community Center Admission: $20 Advanced/ $25 at the Door / $2 off for MCC members! “Coming to the Mateel Community Center on Sunday, April 6th, A Tribe Called Red” is the most exciting new band in the Aboriginal world right now. They represent the vibrancy of young urban natives, through their creation of some really cool music and video work. They have an elaborate and engaging discourse about bridging gaps between the communities. Their show is uplifting, their spirit is infectious and a dancing crowd is what happens wherever they perform. Bursting forth from Canada’s capital, native Producer/DJ crew A Tribe Called Red is producing a truly unique sound that’s impacting the global electronic scene and urban club culture. Since 2010 the group – made up of two-time Canadian DMC Champion DJ Shub, DJ NDN and DJ Bear Witness – has been mixing traditional pow wow vocals and drumming with cutting-edge electronic music. Their self-titled album, released in March 2012, was long-listed for Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize and included in the Washington Post’s top 10 albums of the year. In a sense, ATCR’s music is the soundtrack to a contemporary evolution of the pow wow: their Electric Pow Wow events in Ottawa showcase native talent and aboriginal culture, alongside an open, wild party. Within a couple of years they’ve become the face of an urban Native youth renaissance, championing their heritage and speaking out on aboriginal issues, while being on top of popular music, fashion and art. DJ Bear Witness doubles as the crew’s visual artist and creates stunning, political and sometimes humorous videos that incorporate film and pop culture references to native people and reclaim the aboriginal image. On May 7, A Tribe Called Red will release their second full-length album, Nation II Nation. Don’t miss this highly anticipated concert on Sunday, April 6th at the Mateel Community Center in Redway. Tickets are available online at www.mateel.org and at the door. Doors open at 8pm with the show at 9pm.
