F*ck The Police
This past Thursday we had the opportunity to see Lazer Sword, Flying Lotus, and Benga at the S.A.T. After a rather sloppy set from Lazer Sword, Flying Lotus came on and rocked his signature hip-hop-influenced electro mixed with some wicked bass. However, during FlyLo’s set, somebody (supposedly by the same person) called the cops 4 times with complaints about the epic bass, and as a result the SAT was forced to turn it down for Benga. As it turns out, dubstep isn’t so great without the bass. Benga threw down as best he could, but neither he nor the fans were too pleased (especially those who had shelled out $30 for the night). In the end, a night that had promised to be so epic left us greatly disappointed.

We bounce back pretty easily though. Tonight we are going back to the festival to see Fake Blood and Boy 8-Bit, hopefully with better results. The event will now be held at Just For Laughs (St. Laurent, right below Sherbrooke), which should make the show more intimate (read: sweaty). See you there!
