TONIGHT! Montana’s high energy duo Desperate Electric is back! Blending elements of electronic, pop, and disco this two piece will have you dancing all night on a Tuesday. See them with The Wicked Bees and Simply Strangers!

Fusing elements of funk, rock, soul, pop, and R&B, with cosmo-tronic production, they create a musical experience that’s both futuristic and nostalgic. Moving the listener to dance, think, and reflect, they peer into their mirrors’ darkest corners, openly exploring who they are, what they’ve done, who they want to be, and how they need to change, grow, or evolve to get there.’ -Matt Asaro, Blue World Blog

Tickets available until doors at AquariumFargo.com or CASH ONLY at the doors!!!
