     AudioBody has been described as a modern-day Smothers Brothers meets Blue Man Group.
     Their performance has been dubbed a “Comedic Electronica,” mixing comedy and live music that is played in creative, humorous and unexpected ways.  Costumes feature electronic jumpsuits with drumming on a chrome spine of electro-drums. The show is a mix of crazy physical comedy, contortionism, live music, relentless sarcastic wit, and high energy stunts. They also perform LED light shows and create animated sound waves across the stage using black light effects.
     AudioBody features Brothers Matt and Jason Tardy of Buckfield, Maine. The brothers got the idea for the performance after their music, produced under the name AudioBody, got international attention by being featured as part of the Emmy Nominated Extreme Diet Coke and Mentos videos performed by Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz of EepyBird.  For a period of two months their CD, “Sound. Motion. Theater.” made them the number one artists on the website CDBaby.com, the largest independent record distributer in the country.
     “People from all over the world were asking us when AudioBody would be performing in their area. We got requests from the UK, Russia, Belgium and a bunch other places. We figured, why not give them what they wanted?” said Matt Tardy.
     Matt and Jason Tardy's multifaceted training, and 15 years of experience in the performing arts has brought them all over the US and abroad. Some highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, NV and even The White House in Washington DC three years in a row.
