Infected Mushroom @ Avalon Hollywood - 7/6/2013

The second day of a long weekend, Infected Mushroom come back to the Avalon Hollywood for their FungusAmongUs 2013 tour.

The opening set by Randy Seidman got the crowd moving, but as it got closer to midnight, everyone was becoming quite anxious for Duvdev and Erez to get on stage. Soon, the projectors started and the curtain parted to reveal their signature DJ orbs. Having seen them with the orbs once before didn't matter one bit, it was still just as stunning.

The good thing was that it wasn't the same set. These guys know how to switch it up, but it's always a party. Compared to last time, they threw out much less of their own music, but still kept it funky and upbeat. Opening with The Rat from Army of Mushrooms set the stage for a great night ahead, playing other favorites as Becoming Insane and their cover of The Pretender by The Foo Fighters.

As before, when Heavyweight was played, guitarist Tom Cunningham joined Erez and Duvdev on-stage. The addition of a live instrument to any DJ show has always, in my experience, taken the experience up to another level; and having seen both their FungusAmongUs tour as well as their live band set, it's hard to say which one I liked better.

Check out their track Never Mind from Army of Mushrooms if you haven't yet. It's the first track and it goes hard.
