BOBBLE TIKI: SOUNDS BAD, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT >>>

BEDM Flyer Boy Eats Drum Machine. Sounds like a nasty, if not danceable, accident, doesn’t it?

Well, Bobble Tiki is here to tell you it’s not. Portland’s one-man, beat-based, performance-art inspired Boy Eats Drum Machine â€" also known as Jon Ragel â€" will inject the New Frontier Lounge in Tacoma tonight with enough electro charm to send most into a robot like, rhythmic convulsion.

And that’s a good thing, by the way â€" even if it sounds bad â€" much like Boy Eats Drum Machine’s moniker.

Earlier in the day, around noon, Boy Eats Drum Machine will appear on 90.1 KUPS FM.

“I never know what to expect. It seems like every show is different. It just really depends on the night,” says Ragel. “I make sure and play the music, first and foremost, but I also like interacting with the audience. I like to incite dancing, if they want, but sometimes when people are seeing me for the first time I understand they just want to sit back and watch. That’s ok too.”
