The BASH
In its third year, The BASH annual dance party moves to the Hyatt Regency OC, a significant upgrade in both style and location.
Three days of swing dancing, rockabilly music and social interaction is coming your way! The date is June 21-23 and the gorgeous Hyatt Regency easily accessible at Harbor & Chapman in the OC.On Friday 6/21, the party gets underway with a pair of popular swing bands in the 4th Battle of the Dance Bands, where The Moontones compete with Lil’ Mo and the DynaCrows, sharing the same stage and trading song after song as they attempt to outdo one another with the swingin’-est performances. Also performing Friday: Pachuco José brings his early 40s Mexican rhythm and blues band to the Hyatt, adding to the cultural depth of the weekender and providing yet more lively dance music. Abby Girl & The Real Deal open the show Friday with their lively, soulful renditions of early R & B, blues and roots rock rarities in the main ballroom.
On Saturday June 22, the BASH goes full rockabilly, headlined by James Intveld and his rarely-seen Rockabilly Revue. James’ long history with the Southern Calif. rockabilly scene is on full display in this rockin’ showcase. The legendary Bellfuries have chosen the BASH as their venue to re-unite the original band, bringing Joey Simeone’s unique music to the show the way it as meant to be played. It’s an historic performance! Vicky Tafoya & the Big Beat is a doo-wop band specializing in 1950s inspired rock & roll and classic R & B during their afternoon set. Carl Sonny Leyland adds his spectacular Boogie-Woogie Boys to complete the rockin' party.
