YOOKiE bring the bass to Treefort Music Hall on Nov. 21

The New York brother duo headline a five-act Saturday night bill in Boise, with tickets starting at $5.

Two weeks from Saturday, the low end comes to Boise. YOOKiE headline Treefort Music Hall on Saturday, Nov. 21, with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. and Flowstate, Thermo, DRTY and Cxlxradx filling out the bill. Tickets run $5 to $80 through See Tickets.

The date went up Oct. 28, and with a $5 floor on a 700-capacity room, the cheap tickets are the ones to grab first.

If you haven't caught them yet, YOOKiE are two brothers from New York, Anthony and Christopher Alfaro, and they've been making heavy bass music together for more than a decade. They formed the project in 2012, according to a Stagehoppers interview around their WOOKiE EP, a four-track release from 2022.

Their profile in the bass world got a real lift a couple of years before that. In 2020 their FiSSiON EP became the first standalone release on Subsidia Records, the label run by Excision, as Dancing Astronaut reported at the time. Being the first name on a label like that is a statement about where an act sits in the scene. Earlier still, there was the Bassic EP, which EDMTunes covered in 2018.

They also have a sense of humor about their influences. One recent edit flipped Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," as Stagehoppers noted, which tells you something about the kind of energy they bring. You can find them on Insomniac's artist pages too.

With a $5 floor on a 700-capacity room, the cheap tickets are the ones to grab first.

Why this room? Treefort Music Hall holds 700, which is a sweet spot for a bass show: big enough for a real system and a crowd that moves, small enough that you're never far from the decks. A five-act bill means the night will build, so treat the 7:30 start as real if you want to see the openers work the room up.

The price range is wide, and the bottom of it is about as low as a headlining show gets. If you're thinking about it, think about it early. The listing is on JamBase.

Boise doesn't get a lot of nights built entirely around low end. This one's on a Saturday, it starts early, and it's cheap at the door end of the scale. Bring earplugs and a friend who still thinks dubstep is a phase.
