BASS CITY BEATDOWN 2

So it's that time of year again when the bass comes into to town to throw the fuck down at Broken City. This multi-level party is being hosted by our local love Dustin Wolf (TL1) and features some truly amazing talent, especially at the price tickets are going for compared with other events that fall short on delivering the talent, length and variety that is being offered here. The party starts on the gorgeous patio of Broken City at 2PM with offerings from Modern Math, you can actually dance and enjoy the music without wanting to kill yourself due to overheating and miss most of the DJS by having to run outside and grab some fresh air.

Tickets are available right now (and can be delivered) through myself and Dustin Wolf. Price is 15$ and includes the rooftop portion from 2-8PM and the basement portion from 9-2AM.
