[Event + Contest] Buku Attendees: Check out LATE NIGHT FUNKTION w/ Chill Harris, Space Jesus, Psymbionic, Zoogma + MORE

If you are heading out to New Orleans next weekend for BUKU Music & Arts Project, you are in for a VERY SPECIAL treat! From March 10th - 12th, a group of South Eastern promoters is putting together a series of parties that are collectively called LATE NIGHT FUNKTION at The Howlin Wolf: New Orleans. Over the course of THREE NIGHTS, attendees will get the chance to see a number of legendary bass music artists perform as they keep the BUKU party going! The final lineup consists of Chill Harris, Space Jesus, Psymbionic, Zoogma, Muzzy Bearr, Freddy Todd, Wick-It The Instigator, Krooked Drivers, Marvel Years, Daily Bread, Kaminanda, and Dino Brawl (set times at the bottom of this post). And did I mention there might be a few SURPRISE GUESTS in store?!

Up until about a week ago, araabMUZIK was scheduled to headline on March 11th, however he was tragically shot in his head, jaw, and arm while in a vehicle in Harlem, New York. Thankfully, the injuries he sustained ARE NOT life-threatening, however, he has had to cancel all of his upcoming performances for the time being.

While the LATE NIGHT FUNKTION crew, and worldwide music community were shocked and saddened by yet another instance of unnecessary gun violence, the team decided that the show must go on! "With the gun narrative in mind, we were reminded of a strong message delivered from a brilliant artist, following the November 13th attacks in Paris, France. When the smoke cleared, people came together to honor those we lost. The next day Kill Paris mad an announcement on his facebook page:

"....While there is tragedy everywhere, every day, and every person has their own, the events in Paris yesterday have made me feel that my name as an artist is not appropriate anymore. What my music stands for is love and peace, and I hope my fans know that. Moving forward, I do not want people to get the wrong idea about me and my music just because I’ve gone under a particular pseudonym. I am dropping my old moniker and will now use the name Chill Harris. My music has always been about sharing the moments with others where no language is needed to understand each-other. I will continue to share the love, and stay true to the music. I believe music helps us connect and understand each other. We need this understanding and respect for each other more than ever right now."

I am looking forward to almost every artist playing during this three-part bass music extravaganza, but one of the highlights for me will definitely be seeing Muzzy Bearr who is famously known for playing guitar alongside GRiZ. If you haven seen his recent performance with GRiZ on Last Call: Carson Daly, you NEED to check it out below:

These parties have been a collaborative effort between the folks at Capital Crown, Pass The Good Entertainment, Sweet Science Radio, and SOMA Entertainment. Without the extraordinary effort put forth by these guys, this multi-day event would never have be possible. Ticket prices are currently $69.57 for a THREE-DAY pass or $27.37 for a SINGLE-DAY pass.
