Influences
I admit that my whole life was completely changed by Nirvana and Metallica. I loved Smells Like Teen Spirit and I wasn't even a teen yet... i just loved the raw energy. One time i read an interview with James Hetfield of Metallica, and when asked who his influences were, he gave the nod to a list of bands i either hated or had never heard of (except Black Sabbath), and i remember being shocked, because i naively thought his influences would be Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, etc....give me a break, i was like 13 or something.
The point is, my influences are not necessarily how i sound, and they include everything from NWA to Simon & Garfunkel to The Cure to The Field Of Dreams Soundtrack to Sibilant & Metal Spark to Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed & Emperor to My Dying Bride to FreQ Nasty, Tipper, Ed Rush & Optical, to Frank Zappa to The Who to Boards Of Canada to REM to Salt N Peppa to Run DMC to Led Zeppelin to Grave to Disembowelment to Beethoven & Mozart to Mr Oizo, Mr Scruff, Mr Rogers, Mr Si Begg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mr Mayagi, to loma prieta earthquakes to native American flute music and the soft humming of my mother.
I guess Bassnectar is an amalgamation of every sound i've ever heard, mixed with ultra wicked basslines...
Sounds Like
Wobbling, churning, surging soundtracks in any form or mood, combining explosive basslines with everything plus the kitchen sync....omnitempo maximalism quivering gush-hop and multi-directional meltdown music. No rules, no limits, no boundaries.

Can you just..please utterly slay me and my friends tomorrow night in Boston by playing Leprechaun's Arise, annnnnnddd or Carried Away. Please..Haha we've been waiting for this show for a looonnnggg time, and last year around this time you were in boston me and my buddies drove 3+ hours to a show that was guaranteed by the manager to have tickets for us. Needless to say, they did not have said tickets so we've been WAITING (impatiently) since then for this show. That was last october, and we're coming back for a second try WITH tickets. We basically just wanted to let you know we are/have been huge and faithful fans. Keep the dirty bass blaring.
Your show on Saturday literally blew ANY other show out of the water.. im still recovering from it but the battle wounds are so worth it! they are marks from great memories ill never forget! thank youu so much
Last night at St Andrews was the best night i've had in a loong while. I needed it too, been had a terrible year and that concert pretty much made everything better. Thanks for that. I'll fly to some of the cities you'll be playing at on my days of FOR sure. I'm a flight attendant to it's pretty easy to catch a flight to wherever you guys are playing at. Don't worry, not stalker or shit, I just enjoyed the show so much. I look forward to all of em. :) -Cortney

can't wait for vancouver! i see the venue has changed to "The Vogue". I'm curious to see what's gonna happen. Since the Vogue is a theatre with seats that can't be taken out. Either way it'll be a blast, I just hope no one gets hurt.

Were actually staying with our neighbors we met from All good where I saw you for the first time! , But some of my requests would be the remixes of LSD and Day n Night, then Blow Dubasca, and Zigga Zagga. Other than that my request would just be to not stop GETTING DOWN, I dont care if the suns coming up! ThankS!
