More About HEADS IN MOTION | Atlas Radio
New Wave meets new sound in this tribute act + all-original line-up.
Sat, May 16 at 8:00PM
Ages 21+
On May 16, HEADS IN MOTION returns to The Ideal with their annual, always-packed tribute to Talking Heads—a show that’s become part ritual, part dance-floor fever dream. If you know, you know: the room fills up, the groove locks in, and suddenly nobody’s standing still.
Opening the night is Colorado’s Atlas Radio, a funk-fueled jam machine led by guitarist Blake Beitzel. Their live sets are equal parts precision and chaos in the best way—blending funk, jazz, blues, psych rock, and flashes of EDM into something that feels alive and unpredictable. One minute you’re deep in the pocket, the next you’re swept up in a soaring solo or a left-turn mashup you didn’t see coming.
Beloved favorites. Brand new obsessions.
Local legends meet road-tested firepower.
Get in the room early. Stay late. Let it take over.
EARLY BIRD exp. 5/1 - $20
ADVANCE exp. 5/15 at midnight - $25
DAY OF SHOW - $29
