Ticket buyers will likely never guess that Santa Cruz-born Lorin Ashton, better known as Bassnectar, grew up influenced by rock heavyweights like Megadeth and Metallica and grunge pioneers Nirvana. An interest in ambient acts like Orbital may be less surprising. The electronic music guru—both a DJ and a producer—now delivers electrifying, bass-heavy concerts (hence the name) that typically feature creative remixed tributes like "Seek and Destroy (Bassnectar Remix)" alongside laser light shows that awe tour and festival attendees. Many Bassnectar creations also meld socio-political statements from personalities like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Noam Chomsky into the electronic grooves.
Though he's made more than a dozen free downloadable mixtapes available at his website since 1999, Bassnectar has also unleashed several full-length albums, including a couple more recent releases on his own label, Amorphous Music. The 2012 release "Vava Voom" features a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco on the title track, as well as "Pennywise Tribute," a remix of Pennywise's own single, "Bro Hymn (Tribute)."
Bassnectar shows are the most exciting & intense shows in the world! He's the best DJ out there :). I love heavy metal and he mixes a lot of metal and other genres with heavy bass which allows you to dance so hard like you've never danced before...IT'S THE LOUDEST SHOW EVER...seriously...so great!
Bassnectar throws it down everytime. Great dubstep, great light show, good venue, room to rage, good drinks, not too expensive, crazy good times.
I went with a couple of friends. The crowd was one rowdy ball of energy feeding off of each other, dancing together, lifted from this planet and taken to another. Bassnectar is the master of his craft, and once again proved it. Bassnectar just keeps getting better, and the bass just keeps getting more nasty. I would recommend this show to anyone who loves high energy, crazy dance parties. Some of the sickest tunes you're likely to hear.
Bluebird is the worst set up for a concert, especially one of this magnitude. The place was entirely too packed, full of nasty sweaty hippies, the likes of which have probably never even been to a real house show before. Had this show been at a better venue such ah Jake's Nightclub in Bloomington, I'm sure I would have been a lot more satisfied. Hopefully the show in Chicago will be much better.
One of his best shows ever. The crowd was wild and he fed off it so well.
i've seen Bassnectar twice now, and both shows were amazing.
There really is nothing that compares to Liberty Hall slammin' with raw energy. Bassnectar put on a truly unforgettable show (being only one person!) and I can't wait to see future performances.
If u like dance, house, dubstep, techno, electro, etc. You must go see bassnectar at some point. He puts on one of the beat single man shows a dj artist could do...
