BASSNECTAR BBC MIXTAPE & PICS

by | Nov 17, 2010 | MUSIC

Bassnectar came through Richmond on November 4th and waged war on all ear drums present for a sold out show at the Hat Factory. Even unsuspecting fans attending yet another sold out Pretty Lights show at The National got a taste as Bassnectar opened up to get the crowd warm before jetting back to the Hat Factory for the main event. The fans got what they came for and left with minds vibrating after a two and a half hour set of heavy bass in your face.

For those that missed it, check out the Bassnectar BBC Mix Tape HERE.
