CONCERT: Cornelius

The rock/electronic project of enigmatic Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keigo Oyamada returns at Voice Space. After making his name with Flipper's Guitar in the late '80s and early '90s, Keigo started recording under the moniker Cornelius (a homage to the Planet of the Apes), with 1997 album Fantasma earning him comparisons to the likes of Beck and Beastie Boys for its creative cut-and-paste production style. He followed that up with 2002's Point that showcased a more organic sound based on looping "found sounds." Tickets are B1,900-2,200 on Ticketmelon.
