Bassnectar tickets

The Varsity Theater is going to have a very unique evening on Thursday, April 1st - regular concert goers could certainly see the Bassnectar show as an April Fool's joke because it is certainly not what the Varsity is used to!

According to Wikipedia, because I do not have any knowledge of this kind of music, Bassnectar is, "freeform electronic music and social experimentation project based in San Francisco, California. Primarily a music project of Lorin Ashton, Bassnectar is also accompanied by various collaborators.[1] Ashton describes Bassnectar's sound as "omni-tempo maximalism," by which he means combining beats and basslines with music of any or all speeds, time signatures, rhythms, and sound source. The sound gravitates toward heavy tempos, playing with double time and half time, and using electronic methods to embellish and reinforce other styles of music."

Yeah, that is quite a lot to take in, but I have to admit Bassnectar sounds like a pretty intriguing show to see!



Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now for their February 24th show.

Maybe see ya at the show!
