BBNG last night was BADBADNOTGOOD

Picture this, if you would: I arrive at a weekly concert series held at a park in downtown Salt Lake City every fall, early and by myself (meeting with friends later), to see BBNG play a set before some DJ named Diplo headlines. I paid $10 for my ticket and rushed to the beer line to get a cup before the set. I move toward the front of the stage, meandering about to get about 20-30 feet from the stage, stoked as fuck. About a half hour goes by and there isn't any equipment being set up. I start getting a weird feeling. I check my memory and things aren't adding up. I didn't see one sign promoting the band. I didn't hear one fuckboy conga line mentioning them. The stage announcer mentioned nothing about any of the acts, just listed sponsors and thanked us for coming. Where the fuck is BBNG? What is happening here? The crow is piling up. Younger kids (16-24?) are everywhere. It is packed. All of a sudden the stage announcer comes back and says, "Are y'all ready for Slushee???!!!" The crowd erupts. What? Who? The lights flash, a chubby dude in what looks like a Ghost Busters hockey jersey with short, cropped hair that looks like a half-dyed-blue-bundle of ramen noodles starts yelling into the mic, '1....2...3!!!!' The beat drops hard. The kids are going crazy. The crowed is swaying. Panic sets in. I am about 20 rows deep in a rave. A fucking rave. I can't believe this shit and I can't move so I sold out and tried to enjoy it for what it is- someone did offer me a few puffs from a joint beforehand, thank Satan. Here I am, bobbing my head to 20 minutes (which seemed like 20 days) of recycled beats separated by maybe 60 seconds of build ups until it settles down about halfway through the set and I can bail to try to find my friends. Apparently the DJ's name was Slushii and I don't know what type of music that was. I'd call it dubstep, but I am definitely not the person to be genre-naming anything like it. It was terrible. Fucking terrible.

Eventually, I found my friend and his group and the night got better. Had some water, got another beer, was offered (and accepted) a lot more pot and casually observed Diplo's set, which was better, but not by much.
Anyway, that's my story. I hope someone can get a laugh out of that. I thought my life was over for at least 10 minutes.

tl;dr
Went to see BADBADNOTGOOD play a set. Ended up balls deep in a rave.
