Come celebrate Brett McConnell's birthday (technically on April 4th... So at midnight!) in style with BHP and very special guest Ben Tactic, who will be opening up the night and also spinning at setbreak! Brett will also be celebrating his 15-year-anniversary of performing at the Goodfoot!
Bassist Brett McConnell (Threedom, Aniana, Fresh Track) has a thing for house music, and that thing compelled him to create a "livetronica" band in 2017 to explore the genre in a live, real-time setting. Gathering synths, electronic drums, the unique setup of two bassists, and Aniana on improvisational vocal hooks, he’s put together his eponymous House Party and would love to see you dancing to that familiar electronic heartbeat at the Goodfoot!
Each show attempts to recreate a live set from a house DJ: a similar BPM for the entire evening, and non-stop tracks. And the most impressive part? It's 100% improvised!
