Brewery Arts Center's Flatbed Concert Series brings New Wave Craze to Northgate area Saturday
The Brewery Arts Center will deliver live music directly to the citizens of Carson City while practicing social distancing once again this week, this time in the Northgate neighborhood.
This Saturday, Sept. 12, the BAC is proud to present New Wave Crave. As if they were took a time machine from the 80’s, the party begins the moment these four talented musicians hit the flatbed.
Miles Construction Company has generously donated the use of a Flatbed Truck and with financial support from The Change Companies, the Nauman Foundation, and Carson Tahoe Hospital, all summer the BAC has placed musicians and bands on the flatbed and driven them through the streets and neighborhoods of Carson City and now just two more concerts left.
Miss X is the gorgeous, statuesque singer that both caresses the subtleties of Madonna and belts like Cindy Lauper. As a veteran casino show dancer, she tops off her captivating performances with dazzling moves.
Clean-cut Ducky shreds his vintage Les Paul guitar like he's mowing down an 80's Chia Pet. His passion for New Wave music started when he raided his uncle's record collection-- and he's still at it. His appreciation for detail shines through as he recaptures vocal nuances resulting in passionate performances that leave audiences spellbound.
Basil plays a Steinberger bass. Yes, the one that looks like a black boat oar that's the equivalent to an 80's key-tar. He's thrilled to feel the songs of his boyhood emanating through his fingers as he leaps around the stage, taking breaks between songs to entertain the crowd with 80's voice impressions the likes of Ronald Regan, Jack Nicholson and Christopher Walken.
Bishop the drummer is never too loud and never too soft. He's... just right! With his aggressive embrace of compelling dance beats, he's steady as the romance plot in an 80's John Hughes movie. Dancers that don't know why they love this band, love Bishop.
Combined, these talented musicians form an irresistible force of high-energy entertainment. Some call them “retro” while others call them “nostalgic” as the generations join together to rock the dance floor to one of the greatest decades of music… the 80’s!
Please note, this week the flatbed truck will begin at 5pm and end at 8pm as it has been getting darker earlier.
The flatbed stage will make its way through the Nye, Northgate area with the final stop at Ronald Wood Park and will stop wherever people are safely gathering. The BAC strongly encourages social distancing and especially wearing masks when they stop by the larger, open spaces and parks to perform a few songs. The BAC will be giving out goodie bags and art kits for the kids and even face masks if you need one.
