Apparently, Santa Cruz city officials are unwilling to deal with a little extra bass from San Jose-raised electronic music producer Bassnectar, a former UCSC student scheduled to play a sold-out at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium tomorrow. The show was cancelled today with a two-sentence explanation on the venue website.
“Due to the high volume and intense bass of a Bassnectar show it would be impossible for the show to comply with local sound ordinances. Thank you and please accept our sincerest apologies.” via CityofSantaCruz.com
Fortunately, the Event Center at San Jose State University is better equipped to deal with the extra decibels and the May 5th show there is still scheduled as planned. In fact, a few tickets are left via Ticketmaster for our coastal friends in Santa Cruz who want to make the trip over the hill to catch Bassnectar in his old stomping ground.
