The Georgia Straight presents Balkan Beat Box at the Commodore

Live Nation has announced that American-Israeli world music group Balkan Beat Box will perform at the Commodore Ballroom on Tuesday, November 19, in support of its latest album, Give.

The group's members--Tamir Muskat, Ori Kaplan, and Tomer Yosef--were inspired by last year's protest movements, as well as fatherhood, while recording Give.

“It was kind of a crazy vibe in the studio sometimes,” Muskat laughs. “We were recording some of our most hardcore songs ever, but our kids would be there, too, running around and playing in the middle of everything. I think it gave things a hopeful vibe, too… it reminds us that we’re fighting for something, not just against everything.”

Tickets for the 19+ show are priced at $25 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale this Friday (August 16) at 10 a.m. on the Ticketmaster website.

Tickets are also available for purchase by phone at 1-855-985-5000 and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
