RB Weekend Preview: The Glitch Mob, Lee Burridge, Flight Facilities, and Goldrush 2018!

This is it–the weekend you’ve all been waiting for is here! Goldrush 2018 is happening this weekend, September 28th and 29th in Rawhide’s Western Town. We’ve got some treats even before that, though. First, The Glitch Mob and Elohim take over The Van Buren on Thursday night. Friday, we’ve got the Goldrush Hideout pre-party at Shady Park with Lee Burridge. Saturday night, Flight Facilities offers an exceptional alternative to Goldrush for the lighter hearted.

9/27: The Glitch Mob w/ Elohim @ The Pressroom

Consisting of Boreta (Justin Boreta), edIT (Edward Ma), and Ooah (Josh Mayer), Los Angeles-based electronic music group The Glitch Mob never fails to deliver a creative blend of sound ranging anywhere from soothing instrumentals to deep, static bass. The group is not recognized solely for their unique musical production but they are also widely known for their remarkable showmanship. Viewers don’t just get the chance to listen but also watch and feel as their senses are taken on a journey through the virtual reality that makes up every performance.They have been a familiar name in the music industry since the mid-2000s. After several successful hits, such as 2010’s “Fortune Days” and their popular remix of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” the group took a brief hiatus, only to come back full force in 2018 with a new album and several tour announcements.
