Nothing says the night after the night after Christmas
like EDM! It’s a brand of electronic dance music that
over the course of nearly 30 years has been infl uenced
by the corrupt politics and the tattered social fabric
of our times, challenging gun ownership and war, just
to name two items. Now, Thievery Corporation — the
duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, based in Washington,
D.C. — makes a stop at McDonald Theatre to amplify
its message of inclusiveness over division. Garza and
Hilton forged their relationship in the mid-1990s over a
mutual love for club life as well as dub, bossa nova and
jazz records. In 2017, they even recorded a Jamaican-
themed album The Temple of I & I. As Jose Solis noted
at the time in PopMatters, “Their politics, however, go
beyond partisanship and focus on issues that aff ect the
whole world, making it ironic and wildly subversive to hear
their music sometimes played in decadent lounges and
luxury clothing shops, their potent messages disguised
under their sophisticated beats.”
Thievery Corporation, with support from rock trio
City of the Sun, performs at 8 pm Wednesday, Dec. 27,
at McDonald Theatre, 1010 Willamette St. Tickets are
$46.50 to $71.50. If general admission tickets remain on
Dec. 27, they will be $51.50 and available at the McDonald
Theatre box offi ce. — Dan Buckwalter
