Bong-Ra Live in SF Tonight: Free Octobees to All Ectomites!
Posted by Eliza Gauger
Same deal as last time, gentlemen: you find me in the heaving crowd, I’ll do you up an Octobee, on the house. (clue: my hair is mintyblonde, and I will be dressed as a biplane-hijacking escapee from Mad Max’s personal bellydancing troupe)
This is Bong-Ra’s first US tour, and he’s augmented by a lineup of excellence including Pneumatic Detach, and Enduser, craftsman of one of my and Qais’ all-time favorite albums, Bollywood Breaks.
Ectofriend DJ Intoner, who put the show together, will be spinning between sets.
In case you, my treasured readership, are not yet familiar with Bong-Ra, allow me to advance the notion that he is fucking insane:
As for the rest of the cast, just click your dainty pointers below to be bathed in the relevant phat beats.

Damn. Ok, I’m sold. That video…like Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction with a dash of EBN thrown in…or something. Searching for a higher-res version.

I hate being in school. If I didn’t have homework, I would developing a way of magically going to this and the Flight of the Conchords concert in SF tonight.

My dearest Eliza,
If you come across another rousing evening such as this again, it would be delightful if you could give us a bit more heads up on it. This is like the second time I was all excited to head out to some shindig you recommended only to be thwarted by lack of prep time. I do hope it was enjoyable and that I can make the next one.
Yours truly,
Robert Fulkerson

Dude, you can’t get ready for a show in 6 hours? You seriously take longer to put on your makeup than I do. You probably even take longer than Qais!

Have seen Bong-Ra at a Breakcore party here in London.
Totally Fucking Insane doesn’t even cover it.

Ah, Bong-Ra.
Just noticed this.. had fun, I presume :)
’twas a fucking blast when the dude played here in Greece, in a packed as fuck hole without ventilation or anything of the sort.
“Bong Ra is totally fucking insane” is like saying nukes sting a wee bit.
