TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what you’ve been saying about the Church of Bass:
“After I discovered the church of bass, my life has changed and I am surrounded by like minded people. In fact, I find that if I do not have those kind of conversations with depth I do not feel as well or grounded, and have learned it is important to feed the soul and have gatherings.”
“Your place is very important, and I know it is important to everyone I have met, and has contributed to re- awakening others that have forgotten.”
“I think the underground club you built up over the last year become an important focus point of our community and I personally would feel a great loss if you have to shut down.….”
“I’d be happy to donate 50$ (as a poor postdoc) and I am sure many other people (and some richer than me) in the community will think so, too.”
“I don’t go out very much at all. I try to make it to every Church event. It’s the closest thing to my first party since my first party. I think you know what I mean by that.”
“I am not a religious person, but believe it or not, the Church of Bass has become the closest thing in my life to a church. It really is that powerful and energetic a space to me. I didn’t even know that there existed in me a spiritual void until you created the space, and from the first show until now, I feel like the Church of Bass has become a part of me. It’s not unlike the connection that religious people feel to their churches, I imagine.”
“I know what it is like to have your behavior scrutinized and reviewed by officials who are outside of your chosen sub-culture…. Although I have only attended a few events at your place, I deeply appreciate the community you have created with your work and music.”
“So much gratitude for the amazing energy the COB generates. Keep shining your Light despite all obstacles.”
“The Church of Bass has indeed been a sacred space for many in the community and a place of epic life transformation for me personally. I love the Church of Bass!”
“You have created such an amazing space for so many, we have been truely blessed by your vision and outporing of resources.”
“TCoB is a huge part of a very supportive music scene”
“The Church of Bass is such a fantastic part of the Seattle community, to lose it would be a shame.”
“The Church of Bass is not only my favorite place in the world, it’s everyones”
“With TCB you have done a great deal to transform the dance community. It is so important for us to have this alternative escape from the “vibe” of all those generic places.”
“Your place is what Seattle needed, Hendrik, and I’m grateful for you making this possible.”
Last night I danced at the Church of Bass’s tent at Seacompression. I had a phenomenal time. You couldn’t take your boots off and wander into that structure without being permeated by the energy. I danced for hours. I came home and immediately looked up what TCoB was about. I’m saddened to see the organization no longer has a permanent home. I’ll certainly be looking out for future events. Thanks for creating something amazing!
