Opening for Mexican rockers Cafe Tacuba, Groove Armada broke out its chunkiest, funkiest and most low-down material--a very good call. Mixing uptempo selections from its previous three albums: Schoolboy Rock, Hello Country (Goodbye Nightclub) and the hit-laden Vertigo, Groove Armada eschewed its classic chillers like "At the River," but that hardly mattered to the primed-and-ready Bowlers. Its nine-song/65-minute set of movers and shakers did the business in a big way. In fact, there were moments that even seemed to compromise the structural integrity of the old architectural wonder.

The duo, which expands to a sextet for its live show hit its stride with the bomping kicker "Fogma" and global smash "I See You, Baby," pushing the sold-out crowd of 17,000-plus into booty-shaking fits. And by the time the band tromped through its storming closer "Superstylin'" the Bowl had been transformed into a quaking Temple of Boom.
