Smoakland [CANCELED] Despite both being Bay Area boys, Anthony Battaglia and Harrison Hays actually didn’t meet until they attended Boise State University. But the Gem State isn’t exactly the ideal spot for a couple of weed-loving dubstep heads, so they returned to the Bay and started Smoakland. The duo’s self-described “old school dubstep” (oh god, we’re ancient enough for dubstep to be categorized as old school) leans heavily into drum and bass influences, phased out electronics, and beat dropping, seemingly scientifically engineered to be enjoyed by EDM stoners. The group has thrown down banging opening sets at Red Rocks, so the tight confines of the District Bar has the potential to be popping on this cold Wednesday night if people toke up and turn out.
