Video ~ Pimps of Joytime Drop “Dance Cardia” Ahead of Red Rocks Debut

Pimps Of Joytime

From The Pimps of Joytime

“Today, just two days ahead of their Red Rocks debut, today, Brooklyn’s Pimps of Joytime released their lighthearted new music video for “Dance Cardia.” Directed by Jean Shepherd, the video was shot on location in the band’s hometown of Brooklyn, NY. It reveals frontman Brian J as “The Hustler” versus his childhood foil, “The People’s Champ”, as they converge for a climactic game of Jenga by the train tracks.

“Dance Cardia” is the last single from the Pimps’ most recent LP, Jukestone Paradise (2015, Write Home Records). Brian J co-wrote the funky dance track with Alex Toth of Rubblebucket.

The Pimps premiered the video yesterday through the Denver Post’s music blog, Reverb, as a gift for their Colorado fans before they perform on the legendary Red Rocks stage for the first time as a group this Thursday, July 14.

“Colorado has been real good to us over the past 6 years. There seems to be a genuine appreciation for what we do out here,” said Brian J. “It’s a privilege to be invited to play the amazing Red Rocks Amphitheater and we have our fans to thank for it.”

Pimps of Joytime perform in Telluride, CO tonight, July 13, headlining Telluride Mountain Village’s free summer concert series at Sunset Plaza. The band then travels to Morrison, CO to open the Red Rocks show with Galactic and Boombox tomorrow evening, Thursday, July 14.”

Available during the entire festival day and night, the multi-media geodesic Radiance Dome, which debuted to great acclaim during the 2013 Burning Man Festival, will feature glowing panels designed to inspire creative expression by melding art and interactive technology.
Winner of the 2013 LuciteLux© Just Imagine Award, the Radiance Dome during the day will project geodesic structures and transparent panels that will resonate with nature in their elegant geometry, with the triangular panels and steel creating intriguing shadows and perspectives, highlighted by colorful discs illuminated by the sun. At night, the faces of the domes vividly glow with swirling mosaics of colors in response to their surroundings. A DJ will add sound to the play of light, creating a magical experience.

Designed by Light at Play, the Radiance Dome multi-media environment composes layers of light, perspective, and animation in a 40-foot interactive and immersive geodesic environment that responds to participants as they dance to the music.
“The Radiance dome is an illuminated structure controlled by an interactive software system designed to facilitate a closer relationship between music and movement,” said Kenyon Acton, Light at Play co-owner.
“The dome consists of 200 light trans missive acrylic panels, each individually controlled and illuminated by LEDs. Each panel contributes to a coordinated light show directed by the music, the movement of those within the dome, or through interacting with an iPad. It was conceived of and created for the 2013 Burning Man festival to provide a space for tango and blues dancing,” Acton said.
