Experimental musical theatre troupe the Blue Man Group was founded in 1987 by longtime friends Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink; identical in their blue-painted skin, skullcaps and black clothing, the trio soon became a fixture of the New York underground performance art scene thanks to their regular appearances in Central Park, followed by shows at noted East Village spaces including Dixon Place, Performance Space 122 and the Wooster Group's Performing Garage. Equal parts play, concert, and sketch routine, the Blue Man Group combined sight gags, physical stunts and audience participation, with members of the front rows given plastic rain ponchos as protection from the hail of paint, food and other assorted projectiles launched from the stage; in early 1991, they premiered their production Tubes at La MaMa, moving to the Astor Place Theater by the end of the year and ultimately winning an Obie Award for their efforts. Tubes eventually expanded to long runs in Boston, Chicago and Las Vegas; in 1999, the Blue Man Group also issued an album, Audio, spotlighting their custom musical instruments. Three year later, the trio inked a multi-album deal with Atlantic's sister label, Lava Records. The Complex, which appeared in April 2003, marked the Blue Man Group's monumental sophomore album - a slick effort showcasing impressive collaborations with Tracy Bonham, Dave Matthews, Dan the Automator and Esthero.

Performing in skullcaps and uniform black clothing and with their skin painted blue, the trio started off as a guerrilla theatre act on Manhattan sidewalks before establishing themselves on New York's underground performance art scene. Mixing theatre, vaudeville and percussive music with a healthy dose of audience participation, the trio broke through with their production Tubes, which was premiered in 1991 and has since played throughout America. They appear regularly on The Tonight Show, feature in self-written advertising slots for Intel, and even perform regularly iin Las Vegas. They also oversee the running of the lucrative Blue Man Group Productions, which among many other things hires casting experts to recruit new Blue Men to fulfil the troupe's demanding schedule. The creation of the trio's unique music involves a bizarre collection of large-scale industrial gadgets, including plumbing pipes and airpoles, and modified instruments including giant drums, Hungarian cimbaloms, and electric zithers. In the mid-90s, the group built their own recording studio in a warehouse to enable them to capture their unique sound on record. Reminiscent at times of early 80s US art rock with its fusion of guitar and "wall of sound" rhythm, Audio was released in 1999 on Virgin Records. The album was subsequently nominated for a Grammy Award.
