Giveaway: Amon Tobin at Greek Theater

After warping minds at The Wafield last October, Brazilian producer Amon Tobin is taking his psychedelic EDM visuals to the next level for a show at Berkeley’s Greek Theater on Oct. 5. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky winner.

Tobin’s Berkeley stop on the ISAM 2.0 tour will follow the Oct. 2 release his new album Stunt Rhythms under the moniker Two Fingers. It’s already been a big year for Tobin, with sold-out shows worldwide on the first ISAM tour, including a stop at Coachella.

Leave a comment with why you deserve to win two tickets and we will pick a winner by 6pm tomorrow (September 27).

Here’s a sample of some of the mind-bending visuals you can expect:

Comments

  1. Been listening to him since 2000, he’s one of my favorite artists! I’ve have never gotten the opportunity or funds to go see him and now he’s playing practically in my backyard! I would LOVE to see him!

  2. Congrats to the giveaway winner Mattie Bowen! Thanks for all of the great responses!

  3. Hmmm was the winner ever chosen? :(

  4. Missed the show in Denver while saving to move out here. Awesome show! Whoever gets to go is soooo lucky! The making was worth watching.

  5. I deserve to go because I’m a freshman at Cal and I’ve wanted to go to Coachella and see him, but I could afford it because of school! It would be amazing to go and see him at the Greek Theater! (:

  6. My friend and I have been on the down and outs. I figure an experience like this one could be exactly what we need, seeing as we both love his music.

  7. I have seen ISAM before, twice, and, given that fact, I think it would be unfair for me to not see the show this time. All of the people who have not seen him do not know what they will be missing, but I WILL. See Jerry Seinfeld’s argument with Elaine re: First Class air travel.

  8. i deserve to win because i’ve loved amon tobin forever and have no funds to go see elaborate shows anymore!!

  9. The Greek is a stunning venue and ISAM is sure to be visually ( and musically ) captivating. I just can’t imagine a better combination. This would be a show that I would share with my kids and my kid’s kids. Plus, the all the postivie vibes would totally blow my mind.

  10. Amon Tobin’s music is incredible to me. It’s taken me on strange journeys through my psyche, allowing emotions and ideas to flow that have been long buried within. It’d be incredible to see his live show!

  11. Im a huge Amon Tobin fan and have never been able to see him live. Plus the visual performance is going to be insane and the Greek is a very special place….I will take my love who will certainly be turned out on this shiznit! karma activate!

  12. I’m dying to see Amon Tobin!! I’m a HUGE fan and I came from Lima, Peru to spend some vacations here so it will be PERFECT if I can see Amon Tobin and they’d told me that the Greek Theatre is awesome so will be PERFECT! Thanks!

  13. Digital interactive performance art is the future of music!

    Although my band the NERV is a completely different genre, I draw inspiration from Amon Tobin in a creating a common global language through art and music.

  14. Pick me! Pick Me! Why?

    Because:

    1. I have never seen show at the Greek Theater

    2. The theater is close to my house so I can ride my bike there

    3. I have never won anything

    4. I am nice

    Thanks!!

  15. I’ve watched a small documentary of ISAM, and had friends talking about it since last October. Amon Tobin is probably my favorite contemporary musician. Would absolutely love to go.

  16. I’m broke as hell. ISAM is one of the greatest albums to ever come into my life. I’d love to take one of my friends to this!

  17. I know I probably don’t have a good reason to win these tickets but I’m dying to go! Ive always been a huge fan of Amon, I appreciate his music and art so much and he is always been my biggest inspiration with my art work. This is going to be my first experience and I want to spread this experience to all my friends and to the people I know.

  18. I deserve to win the tickets (well I would really like the tickets) because I’ve been sick and holed up in a room for the past 4 days and getting out and getting some fresh air would really do me some good. Plus I love his music and hear that the show is amazing.

  19. – Oct 5th is my birthday and I love the Amon Tobin – he has Supermodifided the way I hear sound!! and the Kronos Quartet oh yeah – I will bring good birthday vibes to the house!!

  20. My boyfriend bought me a ticket months ago because he knew how much I want to see this show. AMON + THE GREEK THEATER = my 2 favorite things … but he dumped me this week on our anniversary and said he was giving the tickets to family. :,( Apparently I’m better off without him … but not without Amon!

  21. One time I was listening to Horsefish on the freeway and I kept looking around for that danged motorcycle! Haha, was trippin a tad. :D

    <3 Amon Tobin!

    I'd pull that drive if it came to it!

  22. I would like to win these tickets because I sold my first born to go to the Warfield show. but, I then had to cancel to go fight crime.

  23. Been a huge Amon Tobin fan since 1998, would love to see him at the Greek

  24. In all honesty, I would love to win these for my boyfriend. He introduced me to Amon Tobin’s style and it just so happened to coincide with the last ISAM. It was be amazing to surprise him with these tickets. He’s the deeper dedicated fan.

  25. I think I definitely deserve to win tickets for ISAM 2.0– I’ve seen you twice with my boyfriend: October 2011 at the Warfield in Sanfrancisco, and NYE in San Francisco.

    My boyfriend (he lives in New York) and I met each other online through a forum, purely because of music tastes! He’s introduced me to your stuff, and from then on, I’ve I fell in love with your DJ sets.

    After six months of talking endlessly online, he mentioned to me that you were coming to San Francisco on October 1, 2011! I suggested that he should fly over to finally meet each other, and to see you live in San Francisco. We were so happy to see Eskmo, too! It as such an amazing experience: Pure bliss with music we both enjoyed, and we danced the night away together.

    I love you, Amon Tobin!

  26. I should win because it would be amazing and cheer up my terrible day!

  27. I have been to one show in my whole life. I love Amon Tobin and seeing ISAM has been a dream of mine since I first heard about it. It would be amazing to see him, especially in my hometown!

  28. My fiance and I were dying to see Isam live when he played this time last year, but we were literally living in my faux fur-interiored van, sneaking into community colleges for showers, and so broke we couldn’t afford tickets! (hey, one year later we both have jobs, an apartment, and 2 cats!) We are huge Amon Tobin fans. When I was 19 I briefly held a job on an assembly line gluing small mirrors to the bottom of grocery store self-checkout scanners. The only thing that kept my spirit alive during the soulless, robotic workday was listening to Foley Room on repeat. And later when I became I stripper, Two Fingers’ Keman Rhythm was one of my favorite songs to dance to!

  29. Cause I have never seen Amon Tobin live but have been listing to his music with intense appreciation since the mid 90’s… and it would be rad if the 1 thing I ever won was this..

  30. I want to get my face melted and my mind blown

  31. I would love to go to the Amon Tobin show, the visuals through projection mapping look amazingly psychedelic and should complement the music perfectly! Thanks again!

  32. This looks awesome. That day is my birthday and my girlfriend is coming from San Diego to visit me. She is a visual arts major, and this is something that will.blow her away. She doesn’t get a chance to experience this in San Diego too often, so I can show her how greater SF is. This will be the most perfect way to spend my birthday!

  33. I’ve wanted to see this show since before it came out last year but an unfortunate series of events kept me away. Help!
