In Eugene
This Saturday night, the Hult Center will transform its traditional performing arts venue into a contemporary Bohemian Dub Ball: An annual collaborative arts event featuring costumes, dance, interactive media, DJs and visual art. This year’s theme is “Future Classic,” and attendees are encouraged to come and contribute in costume.
The full Bohemian Dub Orchestra will accompany musical acts Medium Troy, Devin The Dude, Eskmo and RJD2 with modern rock, electronic, dubstep and hip-hop.
Medium Troy is comprised of two brothers from Eugene who describe their music as “bohemian dub.” Rather fittingly as the concert is the band’s own creation. Eskmo hails from Los Angeles and is a music producer of inventive compositions that span several genres. Eugene native RJD2 has been producing and playing music since the late 90s. His electronic sounds can be heard on a variety of rappers’ albums as well as the Mad Men theme song.
Dancers will be preforming as well, including the Broadway Revue Burlesque, Space Invaders Breakdancing Crew and Red Moon Rising.
The Hult lobby will feature a slew of visual art, from photography to sculptures.
And if you’re 21 or over, don’t miss the after party at the Granary to keep rocking until the wee hours.
