Beaver State trio brings ‘organic electronica’ to Bozeman
Electric River Presents (formerly Compound Productions) returns with another amazing show by Portland electronica power trio Yak Attack on Thursday, April 14th. The concert will be held at Bourbon, located at 515 West Aspen, in Bozeman. Music begins at 9pm with local support by Vibe Quartet.
The band has been building buzz on the strength of its live shows and the instant connection its music makes with new listeners. Their music is best described as “organic electronica,” using skillful playing, live loops, and tightly constructed songs combined with raw improvisation to build high-energy and uplifting music from scratch, where every note is played and recorded live. The group draws on influences from a wide spectrum of electronica, such as house, drum and bass, and breakbeat, along with elements of jam, funk and jazz. The result is a live show that is musically sophisticated but widely accessible, with a diverse and engaged fanbase that travels to out of town shows and festivals to witness the band’s continually evolving sound.
Yak Attack has been selling out local and regional shows and has developed a reputation as “the region’s go-to late night act” in the summer festival and after party circuit. They spent the early part of 2019 touring in support of live electronic heavyweights STS9 and Sunsquabi, and the band has also shared the stage with other acts such as Goose, Fruition, Turkuaz, TAUK, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and The Magic Beans. After releasing Safety Third on Ropeadope records in 2018, the band is currently recording their fourth full-length album, while making the rounds at national events such as Camp Bisco, Jazzfest, Peach Fest and many new cities across the country.
