About this event
LIVE at The BAD Space
Brett's House Party exists somewhere between a DJ set and a live band. The music never stops; Grooves evolve, textures shift, and one idea seamlessly becomes the next while the pulse keeps the dance floor moving. No two performances are ever the same.
Built around two basses, electronic drums, layers of synthesizers, guitar, lap steel, and live processed vocals, the Portland-based collective performs fully improvised house music without backing tracks, pre-recorded loops, or a setlist. Every kick, bass line, synth hook, vocal riff, and transition is created live in the moment.
Led by bassist Brett McConnell, the band has refined its sound through recurring residencies at Portland's Goodfoot Pub & Lounge. Their debut album, Hunker Down , was just released in August 2026, and captures the energy of those live improvisations. After winning Cascade Equinox's regional Band/DJ Contest in 2025, Brett's House Party is expanding beyond Portland with regional touring and festival appearances throughout the Pacific Northwest.
