Balkan Beat Box

I always love going to the Paradise. I have never seen a bad show there. I have to admit that my only reason for attending this concert was to see Mighty Tiny. I thoroughly enjoyed their performance as always. I didn't stay for the other acts. That green shirt was awesome by the way.

A Eastern European dance party. Funky tunes and a fun evening. Sound quality and layout of Irving plaza is not the best, but the band was amazing.

Balkan Beat Box was awesome- great music, fantastic energy. Paradise Rock club was so-so. It was so loud that after wards my ears were ringing for a couple hours. I'm not even old- I'm 20- so that is really loud. Other than that it was fantastic.

I love these guys! I've seen them several times now, and they always deliver an unforgettable night of dancing, with sensual melodies over high energy beats and vocals. They inspire you to move, I could dance for days afterwards. I love their crowd too, people are always happy and having a great time. It's a huge party and you see moves that you don't see at any other shows. MaruTrusk, you missed the show! You only saw the opening act and mistook them for BBB. They always perform with a full 6-piece band and all live instruments. They never do a show with 2 DJs and a rapper, there aren't even any DJs in the group. Too bad, come again next time, you won't be disappointed.

Maybe this is all my fault. I was expecting "actual performers" not two geeks behind their laptops and a dancing monkey with a microphone. Sorry, I listened to the first 3 "songs" they "played" and left. The only talent that was audible was in the sampled music they wove into their mindless rhythm. Call me old fashioned, but this wasn't a performance, this was just guys playing back their music scripts. Anyone can do that.

They have the best live shows I have ever seen. Huge Fan of their CDs, and their shows are even better. Very Tight. Whole place dancing for two hours straight. Their formula Rocks my World completely. Great to see them in a club like setting at the Show Box. Been raving to friends. They are my favorite band.

The energy and message from BBB is immeasurable and powerful. I've been to quite a few concerts and this was, by far, the most fun I've had at a live show. The sound was perfect at the venue and there's not a bad seat in the house. Overall A+++!!!

Not only are these guys freakin amazing as musicians, they totally got down with the groove factor. We've seen them twice and are even better live than their discs which is really saying something, because we have all 3 cd's and they are great! Totally dancing sensual music!

This group kicked off their US tour in Boston at the Paradise. They did not disappoint. The energy on stage by the lead singer was amazing.

Balkan Beat Box had not stop energy. I did not want the show to end and did not stop dancing the whole show!

you want to dance from start to finish for 100minutes.

The two opening acts I had never heard of but they both did pretty well. They are newcomers to the global music scene. Balkan Beat Box was fantastic, every single song made you want to dance, which is exactly what we did! It was impossible to sit still and Tomer made sure we all were participating. The encore they did was almost 20 minutes and they threw some songs I had never heard of before (new album?). I would highly recommend seeing these guys if you ever have the chance in the future! BBB

Amazing band! They really know how to make people dance! It was really fun!

The best show I've been to in 3 years (Gotan Projects in SF) These guys are such talented musicians. They are on top of the list along with Gogol Bordello, Gotan Projects, Theivery Corporations, Zero 7, and Morcheeba. LOVE THEM!!! Amazing energy! Revolutionary.

This was a great concert...the only thing was that the doors opened at 7 and Balkan did not come one until 9:15. When we walked some people were told that there was no reentry and others were not.

had a grrrreat time! danced from the first to last minute. music was good, energies were high, everything was awesome

What a great show! They sound fantastic live and energize the crowd. Definitely worth seeing live.

These guys have so much energy, it is unbelievable. The entire house was jumping and screaming,

Balkan Beat Box is my favorite ban from outside the US. The show was fantastic

Great vibes!! Especially that Israeli lead singer.

This is my 2nd time seeing B.B.B. Always incredibly entertaining and great fun! Dub meets Balkan, Slavic gypsy beats! Cannot beat that at all, you will feel like you are in a super fun gypsy wedding or in the middle of a Goran Bregovic movie. ( think of the movies, Underground or Time of Gypsies) Had great time with this kind of eclectic music. Would I go again? Yes, definitely and for sure Y E S !!!

Absolutely great show, high energy, lots of fun. I will definitely be back to see them again.

They are the best band I have ever seen live. They give me the chills every time, and I've seen them 5 times so far. I'm never disappointed!!!! They're amazing.

One of the most original bands full of incredible musicians! They bring a level of energy this is unsurpassed.

OK so first of all I want to say I danced for 3 hours straight... and that is more time than BBB were playing (in other words the DJ before BBB was super cool too). When I say world Peace what I am really trying to convey is that these guys could rock any party, play any wedding from Kabul to Waco Texas, from Capetown to Berlin, from Philadelphia to Moscow and no one would complain. They would just dance and sweat and shout and enjoy. Punk Lives!

DJ Envy may be one of the best DJs out there -- he opened for Balkan Beat Box and you felt like you were partying in Ibiza. The crowd was so much better than expected -- everyone was eclectic, friendly, and in such high spirits. There was great energy all around and the band's performance was just the icing on the cake. Definitely recommend seeing them live -- its such a great experience and so much fun!!

BBB is definitely band that can deliver amazing show and great atmosphere. Definitely one of the best LIVE performers. Keep up with great work.

Very very very good performance. Horn section definitely worked for their bread. Missing one star because they could have invited real Bulgarian girls instead of sampling their voices. That would be taking it to another level.

Bbb rocked the house! Great mix of middle eastern music and electronic.

BBB are awesome live!!! Will go to their concert anytime they are in town.

I have been a fan of BBB for many years and have never been able to see them live. They have pretty complicated music and I wasn't sure how they would be in a live concert. They were awesome!! Excellent energy, non-stop show with music from the old and new albums. All the musicians are superb, the sax and clarinet players were absolutely amazing but the guitar, bass, singers and drums/mixes were at par with the horns. They knew how to get the crowd into the music. They played a solid 1-1/2 hour show without a break with smooth transitions between songs. Excellent song choices and just pure fun entertainment. Great for the young or the older (which I saw plenty of both crowds there). I recommend them highly!!

Their energy was amazing throughout the whole show. It was an awesome experience. They put on one of the best shows I have ever been to!

Not good to much of the same. Some good moments. To much jamming

Great vibe,never seen newyorkers jumping that much and cheering :) These guys represent Balkan music very well.

The energies in the crowd were great. Everyone was having a great time. The band gave a high quality show.

This was my second concert with them and I was equally amazed as I was the first time I saw them. The crowd, the contagious energy, the live music, simply everything was perfect. Great job and keep performing!

I love Balkan Beat Box, their music is awesome, and seeing them live was a real treat. Here's the problem. I'm not sure what standard procedure is, but In New York, on a Tuesday night, opening the doors at 8:00 p.m. and having the band get on stage at 10:30 is extremely lame. People generally have places to be and things to do, especially if you are playing on a Tuesday night (and after Passover ends so we are all necessarily starving for some real food). I had to leave at 11:00 p.m., meaning I only got to hear three songs. That sucks, and to me it shows disrespect for your fans. Take that for what you will.

Amazing show, I had a really great time. There was a nice vibe and the artists seemed very down to earth and really brought the crowd into it.
