Wassabi Collective were just announced as winners of the Vox Populi "Peoples Choice" component at the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Song in the Jam Category . There were votes cast from all over the world and it is a great honor for the band. Over the years their music has evolved and become more versatile, dropping the marimbas and incorporating other instruments and techniques, like guitars, keyboards and sequencing. They often hear that their studio albums simply don’t capture the energy of their live shows, so they’re releasing a new one entitled, Live From Moncton, at this weekend’s performance. “All of the messages within our music are the kind of things we think about daily, when it comes to the state of the world and state of affairs here, there’s a lot to be addressed — some of it directly, some of it indirectly — just through environment or attitude to kind of create changes,” guitarist Brent Hongisto explains. The group, just back from a sold out weekend on the West Coast are excited to welcome the Summer in their Hometown.
Wassabi Collective's live show is what has made them a favorite among the underground independent music scene from coast to coast. Feeding off their fans' energy and cries for more, the depths of musical exploration and discovery the band hits night after night shows no bounds. Wassabi is as much at home outside singing to the sun or rocking under the stars as they are onstage inside a sweaty, pulsating venue, sending their devoted dance party twisting and turning late into the night and on into sweet bootie-shaking heaven. An explosive live show that ebbs and flows and rocks and climaxes and grooves keeps their fans hungry yet fulfilled.
With special opening set by local favorite Dj Jitterbug!
