Post-Umph Halloween in SF
Featuring: the New Deal, Pretty Lights, James Christopher & Many More
 |
Halloween is a special time of year in San Francisco. As the weather changes, so does the city's mentality - and since the festivities fall on a Friday this year, you can be certain that the city will be properly celebrating for the occasion. ArtNow SF and the Colorado-based promotions company Euphonic Conceptions have come together to form “RE:CREATION Veni Vedi Vici," one of the most innovative events to hit the Bay Area in some time. Halloween this year at Club 6 will be an amalgamation of cutting edge sounds and styles, an experience of pioneering art and music.
Headliners the New Deal, hailing from Canada, will be bringing their dance-friendly electronic tones to Club 6, offering a whirlwind melange of break beats, techno and hip-hop. After playing a short set to open for Umphrey's McGee at the sold-out Warfield down the street, the New Deal arrives at Club 6 for what is also billed as the official “Umphrey's McGee After Party." Other acts include 3WS, featuring Ana Sia of Glitch Mob fame along with Danny Corn of Moon Tribe, and Mochipet, who was recently nominated as one of the best electronic acts in the city by SF Weekly. Pretty Lights, a fresh new product from Colorado's burgeoning electronic scene, will also be making their San Francisco debut with an eclectic array of organic down-tempo, glitch, and electro.
Some of San Francisco's premier local talent will also be performing on this bill, amongst them James Christopher, Bender, Pleasure Maker and Kap10 Harris. They are joined by over a dozen local visual artists including Matthew Scott, Julia Craig and Damien King.
With music going late into the night (or morning), “RE:CREATION Veni Vedi Vici" has the potential to be an event of epic proportions. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. A limited number of pre-sale tickets are available now through the Umphrey's McGee website, www.umphreys.com.
