OffBeat Music Festival

You were patient, you did your breathing exercises, you even made sure to go to the bathroom when the bill came at din-din last Weds. Time to reward yourself for such disciplined behavior… EARLY 🐦 TIX ON SALE NOW! 🎟️🤘😼 offbeatreno.com • 9/30–10/2 • #offbeatfest

Basically, 2020 ate some of our venues and cut our fest capacity in half. So if you want to guarantee yourself a rip-roaring weekend at OB21, you have to buy a wristband. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Might as well snag an early bird ticket and save yourself some beerbucks. Cheep cheap, baby sheep!

WE’RE BACK, BOO-THANGS. Peep the bio for dates. We promise never to skip another year of OffBeat Music Festival… EVER!! (I mean, unless one of you skunknuts eats something weird and the whole world has to go on timeout again).

Happy mid-Jan! Now that we're all back to our frightfully boring lives and regular drinking habits, let's talk OffBeat. We're coming in hot 10/1–10/3 this year. That means there's time to book your fave up-and-coming bands. So tell us, baby boids: who do you wanna see at OB2020?

Thank you all. Artists, venue peeps, volunteers, and all you crazy cats who come out and give us a reason to do this thing. You made this the best year yet. Until next time. Now get some rest, babes.

Mestizo Beat will take you to Parliament meets the Meters meets Fela meets WAR meets pre-Rob-Thomas Santana territory w/o having to suffer through a night of your buddy repeating "Oh wait, you gotta hear this entire record first." Sat nite @ @CraftReno! offbeatreno.com/tickets

LA math rock monsters @wearestandards don't just give it a little tappy tap-tap tap-a-roo and call it a freakin' day. This LA duo ensures the angle of their jangle gets wild, melodic, and even hip-swayably dancy, to boot. Catch their all-ages groove at @hollandproject Sat nite!

If you took SoCal beach ska, slathered a tube of early punk on its patchy-haired chest, then wore a stanked-out cowboy boot made of 70s proto-stoner rock and kicked its bong-brain square in the bum, you might end up with @NOWHERELANDUSA. Fri 10/4: 40 Mile Sat 10/5: Rec'd Recs

Thankfully, @CraftReno doesn't sell that calorie-shaming @skinnygirlvodka stuff b/c 2nd up for Off Beat's 10/5 Funk Friday showcase is @MoreFatter who will fill that back room with their brassy, sassy, bumpin', thumpin' funk-rock-jazz fusion. Wanna get your steps in? Come groove.

If an angel got sent to Earth to save pound puppies, puff Camels, and stare misty-eyed—yet still smiling—down dusky Reno alleyways, we think it'd sound like @werewolf_club kicking off Saturday night 10/5 at the Cup. 👼🚬😹🎰 Grab those wristbands: offbeatreno.com/tickets
