No matter how you look at it, opening for Beats Antique is quite the privilege.  We couldn’t think of a better opening act than Oakland indie-electro singer-songwriter, LYNX, to get the audience ready for a production as breathtaking and unique as that which is took place this Friday the 13th.

LYNX is a young, gifted and extremely versatile artist who has been turning heads of many as of late.  During her set she commanded a) her laptop b) an electric guitar c) live drums d) a melodica (she calls it ‘the world’s tiniest organ’ and e) a mandolin.  Did we mention she’s also one of the best beatboxers ever to grace our lens?

LYNX is featured on Beats Antique’s recent release, Blind Threshold, and first popped up on our radar during a jaw dropping performance in Austin at SXSW 2011.
