Mount Kimbie will bring its Dumb Guitar Tour to The Fonda Theatre on Saturday, May 18. Kai Campos and Dominic Maker, the British indie-electronic duo better known as Mount Kimbie, were still riding a high from a gig the night before. They’d performed in Amsterdam where the group, only three dates into the Dumb Guitar Tour, finally felt grounded at the crossroads of tour life and nerves.
The duo got its start in the London underground electronic music scene, forming what the world knows now as Mount Kimbie nearly 15 years ago. These days, the group is influenced by everything, from techno to dubstep, post-punk to hip-hop, R&B to ambient lo-fi and a handful of uncut DJ mixes that have floated throughout the internet, all intertwining to make up a sound the two consider “forever changing,” a superpower of sorts since having a definite sound has never been Mount Kimbie’s niche.
In the scorching summer heat, there wasn’t a clear goal, only the intent to potentially produce a track or two. But as they settled into a secluded Airbnb for six weeks, it became the ideal setting for crafting a California-tinged record, giving birth to what the world now knows as “The Sunset Violent.”
The band, now expanded to a four-piece with the addition of Andrea Balency-Béarn and Marc Pell, is currently embarking on the Dumb Guitar Tour across the globe. The 15-date run includes a stop at The Fonda Theatre, originally slated for the El Rey. However, due to high fan demand for tickets, the venue size was expanded.
