Fresh off their cross-country tour, Recycled Percussion returns to Tropicana Las Vegas with more energy and excitement than ever before. Shows resume November 1st and will be at 7:00 p.m. nightly, dark on Wednesdays.
"We are pulling out all the stops in our return to the all new Tropicana Las Vegas," said band founder Justin Spencer. "Buckle your seat belts; you're in for a rockin' ride!"
Continuing the Recycled Percussion philosophy to have audiences "come play" with them, show goers at the Tropicana Theater immediately become a part of the performance as they are handed an instrument and a drumstick upon entering, allowing them to become the 5th member of the band. Encouraged to play on anything from car parts to random items found around the house (including the kitchen sink), guests are called upon throughout the show and each audience member will be able to show their percussion skills along with the band. Entire families are able enjoy the show together, as the show is all ages. Now mom and dad can jam with the kids, even grandma and grandpa can join in the fun!
Formed in 1994 in New Hampshire at their High School talent show, Recycled Percussion's first performance gave birth to the style of music now known as JUNK ROCK. This small-town band has built their show into one of the more powerful live performances in entertainment. During every show, the band mixes their gritty assault on buckets, power tools or anything else they can get their sticks on with a sense of humor and gravity defying athleticism. The larger stage and venue at Tropicana Las Vegas lets the band do the types of theatrical stunts that they have always wanted to perform.
Spencer, who has been named the world's fastest drummer, along with fellow drummer Ryan Vezina, guitarist Matt Bowman and DJ Todd Griffin started to tour the world as Recycled Percussion in 2001 and have averaged over 250 shows a year since. The band was introduced in living rooms across the country on the hit television show "America's Got Talent" on NBC. The group placed 3rd out of over 100,000 acts and became the first non-singing act to place in the top 3 in show history. The group has appeared on the cover of "USA TODAY" and has performed on the "Today Show," "Carson Daly," "Talk Soup," "Crook and Chase," and recently played their biggest show ever by performing on "China's Got Talent." The audience at the outdoor stadium was over 80,000 and the home viewership reached over 610 million viewers. The band has also performed at the 2010 Latin Grammy's, World MMA Awards, NBA & NFL halftime shows, convention general session openers, corporate events, college performances and more.
