Like labelmates MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots have a penchant for performing live in costume. Instead of looking like psychotic ax murderers, though, Bloody Beetroots prefer that their "Death Crew 77" looks like Spider-Man villain Venom. Although joined on stage by a variety of musicians, including a live drummer, producer Bob Rifo and DJ Tommy Tea write all the music. Hailing from northern Italy, Bloody Beetroots has become internationally renowned for hectically upbeat electronic music and energetic live shows. In fact, those shows are more like seeing a rock band with a sense of theater than just a DJ nerding out at his console. But the band's songs sound nothing like rock and roll. Mixing the computerized with the acoustic, Bloody Beetroots have taken what is sometimes a stultified art form and injected it with sheer enthusiasm.
