Feed Your Devilish Side and Volunteer at Something Wicked

You don’t have to be a DJ, promoter or dancer to be a part of your local dance scene. Volunteering is a great way to get involved while helping the festival community – and there are lots of benefits for doing it too! If and when you volunteer at Houston’s premier Halloween event, Something Wicked, you’ll receive access to the festival, learn about operations at a major festival event and meet other Wicked souls like yourself with similar interests. If you’ve always wanted to get involved, but didn’t know how, here is your chance.

Though our Wicked volunteers won’t need a ticket, you’ll be asked to complete a specific amount of shift hours in order to gain access to the show. If you don’t fulfill your required hours, you will be charged for a single day ticket with the account information you have provided. Additionally, volunteers who do not show up for their shifts will be charged as well.

If you’re interested in volunteering and feeding your devilish side with Something Wicked, please email volunteers@somethingwickedfestival.com with your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth (to confirm that you are at least 18 years old) and attach your résumé. Once we have your application for consideration, we’ll contact you with more details.

Something Wicked Artist Profile: Adventure Club

artist adventure clubSomething Wicked duo Adventure Club have been rapidly ascending the dance music scene since they first got together in 2011. Hailing from Montréal, the duo formed while attending high school as a hardcore pop-punk band, but later decided to move onto the sounds of bass. The first song to put the duo on the map was their remix of Brand New’s song “Daisy” which increased their following exponentially after it was uploaded to the music aggregator site Hype Machine.

Influenced by the sounds of Tiësto, Flux Pavilion and Skrillex, the duo developed a signature style that merges high-pitched female vocals with heavy drops. “We were big into the hardcore scene and our friends showed us this remix album they had and Tech 1 did a remix of ‘Sleep with One Eye Open’ and it blended electronic and hardcore music together. We loved it so we started messing around with those kind of sounds.”

With a studio session early after their initial debut, the boys released a handful of tracks, catapulting them to fame. Remixes like “Crave You” or “Youth” by Foxes showcase Adventure Club’s characteristic blend of syncopated rhythms, emotional melodies coupled with emotive vocals, and smooth bass aligning each track. Some of their signature sound can also be attributed to the software Cakewalk SONAR that they use to produce their music.

Currently buzzing from their latest release “Gold” featuring Yuna, come get your dose of adventure this Saturday, October 26th as Adventure Club makes their way to Houston’s Something Wicked. There’s still time to buy your tickets online!

Thank You AWOL Sun 2013 for Another Unforgettable Experience

The power of music is undeniable. It can take you on amazing journey and soundtrack an experience like nothing else. For AWOL Sun 2013, music took us to the shores of Mexico, returning to where it all began just four years ago. Our Lifers created new memories, built the community and kept the energy going all day, even through the rain on Sunday. Nothing could and would stop them from having a beautiful experience – and that’s what AWOL is truly about. Though we are closing the chapter on this year’s event, which took place October 10-13th, we would like to extend an exuberant THANK YOU to all you Lifers who made AWOL Sun 2013 such an unbelievable success.

Our vacation to Cabo San Lucas was action packed, to say the least. Though some may be a little fuzzy on the exact details, we loved seeing all of you celebrating and dancing to artists under the sun and moon – despite the conditions. A special thanks to all the artists playing in the rain and underneath tarps, especially Anthony Attalla and his monstrous four hour set. You all had the Lifers dancing like crazy in the torrential downpour and Brazilian Lifer Ale Rauen had an incredible energy that we’re still talking about. Lee Foss’ set on Friday night was unbelievable and having him stay an extra two nights just to hang out and spend more time with us was just the icing on the cake. He even played again after Cajmere vs. Green Velvet’s amazing set on Saturday – just for fun.

Thank you again for all of your support and for making our AWOL Sun 2013 an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t do it without you.

We’ll see you next year for AWOL Snow 2014 in January! Dates will be announced soon.
