EOTO - The way music is produced and performed is growing at an astounding rate. From the roots of acoustic music to amped up rock n’ roll and into the electronic revolution, the options available to the modern musician are more like a scientific lab, then the campfire jam from where it all started. From the controls of a tiny laptop, a performer now has the power to mix, change and loop sounds in a concert setting with great ease. This modern twist of technology is bringing a new level of music to the electronic dance party.
While the genre of live electronica is relatively new on the music circuit, nobody is breaking the boundaries of live producing and improvisation like EOTO. Fusing elements of live instrumentation, house music, dubstep and electro into their dance ready sound, the band will be taking the country by storm beginning in late September for their perennial fall tour, performing 33 consecutive nights in a row.
Consisting of Michael Travis and Jason Hann the duo mixes the organic sounds of live drums, bass and guitar through a variety of programs and gadgets to create a style of music that is more likely found in a dance club, then a live music theater. What sets EOTO apart from other artists in this emerging genre is how the music is created. While some artists may spend hours pre-mixing samples and elements of music for their live show, EOTO uses nothing pre-recorded, giving them the ability to approach each song with on-the-spot spontaneity and 100% live improvisation.

Jaws That Bite (Young Heavy Souls) Jaws That Bite makes progressive, instrumental beat music. As a guitarist, he brings a prominent musical element to a traditionally rhythm-centric genre. Homemade percussion loops, dissonant vocal chops and wafting synthesizers melt together in the surreal soup of Sab’s sound. “Whether it’s performing a renegade set in a crowded basement or sharing the stage with national electronic and hip-hop acts, there is a certain electricity that comes with his performances.” – Matt Black, Young Heavy Souls
