Misical Parties at BM (number, types and time)

Post by Jane785 » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:21 pm

Hi!

Could you please give your estimations about the parties at BM [parties meaning ~~DJs playing, people dancing etc.]
1) How many during 1 day [1-2? 10-15? 50?]
2) What styles of music (mostly)?
3) When do they run? [e.g. mandatory stop at some time in the night? Round the clock? Nothing during the day due to the heat?]

Um... sure.

There are generally 2 - 3 musical performances per day.

Country, Western and Tuvan throat-singing (mostly).

All performances of a musical nature MUST run between 5 and 8 AM, no exceptions. This is one of the most strictly enforced rules at Burningman.

Hope this helps. BTW - When did you hear about this rave anyway? Yesterday?

My turn -

1) Too many to attempt to attend in every genre by every level of artist

2) Like I said Every Genre - Grgorian Chant, Opera in Italian, Counry, R&B, Tech, Euro Tech, Asian Tech, B&D, Acoustic, Acapella, Digital, Trance, African, Rap, Folk, Jazz, Latin, Blues, Caribbean, Industrial, Middle East, Reggae, fusion, and on and on and on.

3) AS a rule of thumb - but its reallly any time they want too or are ready. Most performances are in the evening though. The party doesnt wind down until the sun comes up. Unlike The default world, where the cops come and shut you down, opr your bar closes at 0200. Parties are still growing at 0200 in BRC. It goes all night and day at BM, Every day picks up in fever and pitch.

and last year was always better.
