Art of Revolution Tour Update – May 2009

bassnectar May 15, 2009

Kaa-BLAM! Hi-fives, hugs and headbangs to everyone who came through the site and checked out the new features, grabbed the music, and shared the news. And thanks to all the West Coast freaks that joined us for Round 1 of the Art of Revolution tour. In the first week, well over 7000 bodies from San Diego to Bellingham got an 80hz jolt from the Wobble Factory’s PK sound rig. Next up: returning home for back-to-back nights in San Francisco and Santa Cruz – extremely overjoyed to get back home and DROP. IT. …Then on to 6 sets in a row in the Midwest, culminating in MOVEMENT: The Detroit Electronic Music Festival, closing out the stage after Flying Lotus, Benga, Busy P and Afrika Bambaataa. Then we jet back down to LA to close out the month alongside our friends and family at The Do Lab. Lots more summer fests being confirmed this week, and setting up the next single for mid summer: BOOMBOX! After an exclusive sneak preview on Bassnectar.net we are excited to announce the official release of one of our heaviest tunes ever: Art of Revolution, which features the legendary Jamaican vocalist Tappa Zukie and includes massive remixes

“In the face of adversity, they have banded together like the cables connecting Lorin’s laptops and used their difficulties as inspiration to work harder, to write, to dance, to sing, to rap. Umojafest is not only an entity of its own; it is lusciously hopeful tangle of several pillar organizations that have been active and effective for years.”

Five (SUPER)stars for Eugene

Welcome to Eugene, the so-called Anarchist capital of the US. Brace yourselves, because this one was a WHOPPAH- we had five (as in 1.2..3…4….5!) prime organizations in the lovely lobby of the McDonald Theater. So let’s get crackin’ with… M.E.C.C.A.- Materials Exchange Center for Community Arts MECCA brought us both smiling faces and an art show replete with prime examples of community arts programs at their finest. On entering, everyone was greeted by some exceptional art made possible by this volunteer-run program that brings recycled arts education to children and adults through partnerships with schools, workshops, and classes in their wonderfully colorful headquarters. Eugene Peaceworks While the national struggle for Peace and Democracy may sometimes feel like listening to Bassnectar in your grandpa’s 1990 Ford Falcon that he shot through the door speaker when his favorite Tim McGraw song was interrupted, Peaceworks adds a dash of sanity to the struggle. Through facilitating alternative pro-peace media, providing counter-military recruitment, actively engaging the community with speakers and events, and maintaining a positive, locally oriented approach, Peaceworks is one of the most well-known and respected activist organizations in the Eugene community. Their spread at the event was also impressive, with petitions, pamphlets, peace
