BASSNECTAR & PRETTY LIGHTS 2 Day Run in ALPHARETTA, GA

Wow. What an amazing weekend. I apologize for taking over a week to get this post out but I visited North Carolina last week from Denver and have been extremely busy. Anywho, I know you are here to see and hear about this unbelievable weekend! Let me get started...

On October 14 and 15th in Alpharetta, GA last weekend, Bassnectar and Pretty Lights had the help of Beats Antique, Big Gigantic, SuperDre and Bonobo to create one of the most memorable weekends in the electronic music scene. FYI, the shows really WERE held in Alpharetta (a city about 45 minutes from ATL), although everyone including Lorin and Derek were calling the crowd "Atlanta." On the first night, Bonobo and Big Gigantic opened for Bassnectar and then Pretty Lights closed down the night - and on the second night, Super Dre and Beats Antique opened for Pretty Lights, and Bassnectar closed down the night. I unfortunately missed Bonobo and Big Gigantic due to flying in from the airport late in the day, but I heard both sets were awesome. Here's a picture from Big Gigantic's set below.

Bassnectar's set was so interesting the first night! Since he wasn't the closer on Friday, I assumed he didn't want to blow everyone's mind away with his usual 'Wildstyle' set, so he kept it extremely mellow. More mellow than I have ever seen from him before. Mellow for Bassnectar doesn't say TOO much, though. His chiller songs are still filled with massive basslines which is why I love his music so much in the first place. Here is one of my videos below to help you better understand what I'm talking about. (Remember to mute my music playlist on the right).



On this more mellow night he also played "Underwater" and other songs like it. After that was of course, Pretty Lights, and Derek put on an amazing show as well. He dropped "I Know The Truth" which I am obsessed with so anytime I see him and he plays that I know it's going to be a good night. Derek literally has million dollar lasers that make his show one of a kind. I can't wait for him to release some more new music! Check out my video below of his song "Total Fascination."

Night 2 was a whole other story than the first night. Not only did I get to see SuperDre open up the night, but Beats Antique was so much fun to see, as they always are. They are so different than the average electronic music group and I really love their music. They released a new album recently called "Elektrafone" - I definitely recommend it. Then what really made the weekend unforgettable is that Bassnectar got my friends and me into the "Pit" instead of where our original tickets in the "Lawn" were. Yes, THE Lorin of Bassnectar contacted me and did this for me. Needless to say I'm STILL freaking out about it!!! :-D So, because I was in the pit... I got some sick videos. Check them out.




Here is the family photo from Night 2! When you view this picture on his website in high resolution you can actually see me in it! Haha, obviously you can't in this one but below is Kellie Furr and myself before the show on Saturday night as well.. rockin' my Bassnectar shirt my sister gave me.

PS- Shout out to all of my Bass Fam that I saw this weekend. It was SO great to see you all and I can't wait to do it again soon. Here's another video of why we all love Bassnectar (wait until about 40 seconds in). He takes the time to thank his fans! Love it.
