I won't get into the details of why the band won't be at the fair this year, but I will say that if you've been counting on seeing us there, you better make other plans and get your butt to Portland. Our last public show in town before the fair is June 6th... don't miss it. Our LA guests Mutaytor will be bringing as much madness as the midnight show, and you know you can count on M4 to get your booty going!
*THIS IS AN ALL AGES EVENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you get when you combine 100 tribal drums, live-mixed electronica,fire performers, hoop dancers, aerial artists, John Avila (Oingo Boingo) on bass, Steve Reid (Rippingtons/Supertramp) on percussion, a live horn section, Chinese parade lions, giant screen visuals and a bevy of interactive dancers and performers? The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes drastically advanced elements of the Grateful Dead, Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Louis Prima and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment notable for "turning Civilians into Rockstars." The sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. They are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd.

Re: March Fourth Marching Band won't be at the Fair this year...
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 2:59 PMOh...sad.
But hey....M4 has played at the fair a couple of years in a row, with a main stage spot, a meadow show, and an appearance in the Midnight show. It takes something like twenty-four passes above and beyond the members of the band that all ready have jobs / passes to bring M4 to the fair.
The fair loves you guys and your friends. You'll be invited back. Don't worry.
See you in june! (ummmm...MUTAYTOR & M4...so yummmmmy). -

Wed, May 14, 2008 - 1:33 PMMaybe I missed something???
Maybe it was an early yes for a sweet late afternoon set on the Main Stage for 2009?

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Not guilty
Tue, June 24, 2008 - 9:47 PMI wish y'all would not blame the fair...
my understanding is that M4 didn't submit an application to play?
The Fair is only psychic on Saturday night..... -

Re: Not guilty
Tue, July 1, 2008 - 4:57 PMWell either way this is a huge loss and I am sorry to not see it turn around. I look forward to seeing them perform all year. Regardless of situations, I will miss their performance as will many. Good luck on whatever travels you all have.
