Perhaps no band straddles the line between band and DJ better than Go Go Gadjet. Their innovative combination of musicianship with traditional instruments and modern controllers crafts an indelible sound that’s uniquely their own and one that simply must be experienced.

The acclaimed band, which performs upwards of 120 shows a year, will begin the new year with a sold-out performance at Bethlehem’s Musikfest Café on Friday.

Go Go Gadjet is Joel Bermudez (drums), Alex Buonopane (lead vocals), Rheed (lead vocals), Pete Macartney (guitars) and Luke Anderson (bass).

In addition to having founded Go Go Gadjet, manager Jeff Tomrell continues to build upon his success from his 8,000-square-foot creative studio, Three Hive, located in Sinking Spring. Last year his tribute creation Magical Mystery Doors, which pays homage to the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the Doors, was voted “Best Casino Show,” beating out the likes of Keith Urban, Shania Twain and Cirque du Soleil.

I recently spoke with Rheed and Pete Macartney of Go Go Gadjet and Tomrell about the band’s upcoming Musikfest Café performance, their origin and more in this new interview.

Go Go Gadjet is not a typical cover/bar band. Having said that, how would you describe the band in terms of its sound?

Rheed / Pete Macartney: We try to put an interesting and modern spin on everything we play. We’ll blend older and new songs across all different genres. The outcome is a sound uniquely our own. Go Go Gadjet has often been described as a band version of a DJ. The band is comprised of very talented musicians on their own individual instruments. This allows us to improvise and connect with an audience in an entirely different way than a DJ.
