Beats Antique at Varsity

Electronic/world music fusion group Beats Antique offer a Tuesday night show at the Varsity Theatre next week. Seamlessly blending the thumping, computer-generated sound of dubstep and glitch with the homespun, decidedly man-made threads of Middle Eastern, orchestral and gypsy music, they offer an energetic live show and a range of instruments never before combined onstage. Glockenspiel, kalimba, accordion, viola—it’s symphonic, not cacophonic, in their skilled hands. Tickets are $15. Show begins at 9 p.m. More information at varsitytheatre.com.
