We look poised for a Dragon takeover on Thursday, as Visalia's The Cellar Door has a concert with Lucky Dragons and back here in Fresno, Audie's Olympic hosts Little Dragon.
Kinda confusing, right? Here's some simple differentiation:
- Lucky Dragons is an experimental L.A. duo, whose music is made up of everyday sounds and whose shows are multimedia collaborations with the audience.
- Little Dragon is a Swedish electro-pop band with a Swedish/Japanese female singer. The band played an almost-sold-out show at Audie's Olympic earlier this year.
To help you decide which Dragon you prefer, here's a sample of each:
LUCKY DRAGONS
The Lucky Dragons show is produced in association with Archop. You might think architecture and music don't really mix -- but Lucky Dragons is doing an experimental concert where the music is made by the audience using "touch" and electromagnetism.
It calls for a "sound and space installation," which the Archop guys are helping with. Read a full explanation here. Below is a video of Lucky Dragons explaining what they do.
LITTLE DRAGON
Back in Fresno, the Little Dragon show is a little more straightforward. The band is currently touring to promote the release of its second album, "Machine Dreams."
We'll be giving away a pair of tickets to the show later today, but for now everyone wins with a free mp3 from the new album, courtesy of the band's PR folks.

The Lucky Dragon show is gonna be cool. Our Visalia volunteers built a hella cool interactive installation
