From the mountains of Colorado comes a new wave of live electronic music combining modern dance beats with an edgy punk rock attitude. A relative newcomer to the live music scene, Control has already been impressing audiences with their explosive original sound. Combining various schools of traditional electronic music spiced with elements of funk, jazz, and hip-hop, Control has already made a significant splash on the Colorado music scene with several electric performances at the Fox, Trilogy Wine Bar, and Quixote's True Blue.Control was formed in early 2006 by a group of electronic producers, musicians, and artists with one common interest--to create original and modern dance music while incorporating plenty of room for live improvisation and experimentation. Drawing from a wide variety of influences such as the Greyboy Allstars, Boards of Canada, Eliot Lipp, Bonobo, DJ Krush, and LTJ Bukem, Control truly creates a musical experience all to its own. With Sean Mahaffey (bass), Ethan Ice (synthesizers and keyboards) Freddie Heis (guitar), and Matthew Stafford (drums), these four seasoned music veterans are building a bridge between hard drums and bass, hypnotic trance, downtempo grooves, and everything in between. Already showcasing a wide array of explosive originals and several tasteful covers, every Control show is guaranteed to be an energetic and unforgettable experience -- it should be simply seen and not explained.
