Adventure Club ‘brought it down’ at Roseland Theater

The beat wasn’t the only thing that dropped March 20 at the Roseland Theater. The crowd was confident and energetic, and the friendship within the PLUR (peace, love, unity, respect) community was at its climax.

After standing in the rain for 35 minutes, I finally got into the Roseland, where I had to wait another 15 minutes to go though metal detectors and get patted down. The pat-down was a little too frisky for my liking but, hey. Regardless of the liberal pat-down, the Canadian duo known as Adventure Club brought it down. When “Gold” came on, the crowd went wild!

“Gold” is one of the duo’s biggest hits because it was the theme song for the EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) 2014 trailer to promote the biggest EDM (Electronic Dance Music) festival.

Aside from all the sweaty and mostly naked bodies, the show was very exuberant. I started noticing that every time a good song would come on individuals in the crowd would squirt their over-priced water bottles everywhere. After being in the crowd for three hours, the water and mist was the most refreshing thing ever.

The whole atmosphere of the show was amazing. Everyone in attendance was happy, high, and was on Cloud Nine. Well, more like ten or eleven, but we’ll stick with nine. Adventure Club’s energetic interaction was refreshing to see.

The Roseland is a small enough venue to allow for the give-and-take between the crowd and the artist to be amazingly intimate. I mean, launching yourself at the crowd – what could be more intimate than that? My friends loved it, my sister loved it, and I loved it. An EDM show is a place where you dance to dance and you don’t care who’s watching, or what they’re wearing. We were all just there to soak in the music and rage.
