Bosnian band, A severe reaction, to play at The Afterdark
From the war torn shores of Bosnia and Herzegovina comes A Severe Reaction, a band devoted to making their fans move. ASR is the embodiment of what every kid wants to say about his life and loves. They combine a mixture of dance, electronica, punk, and acoustic music to form an array of sound.
ASR’s front men, Bastian and Lucious Silajdzic, know what its like to fill stadiums and large clubs, but are excited to play a smaller venue in the town of Stevens Point.
ASR began their international tour April 2 and arrived in the States May 3rd, planning to infiltrate major cities from coast to coast. So why did they decide to fit Stevens Point into their tour schedule? When Dian Petar, ASR’s manager was interviewed he simply stated, “Its actually quite a funny story, Bastian and Lucious were looking for a venue to play between Milwaukee and Minneapolis, so they laid out a map threw a dart at it, and Stevens Point was the victor.
Promotion for the show has already begun on campus. Little black eggs and posters have been discretely placed in every nook and cranny and a large black box has also been spotted around town. ASR’s concert is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Thursday, May 15 at The Afterdark. Additional information about band is online at www.aseverereaction.com.
