Erupting onto the scene in 2018, Jaenga (Pat McDevitt) distinguished himself by sneaking his school bus into festivals, disguised as an “RV” and converting it into a full on late night stage for afters. Word spread, drawing crowds of thousands at festivals such as Electric Forest and Camp Bisco. 

 Shortly after the Bus’s first route, Jaenga’s inspiration was booming with the essence of the “underground” and he channeled that feeling into his first EP which was picked up by Deadbeats. Jam packed with hip hop acapellas crossed with traditional bass music, this release propelled him into the Deadbeats community, where he joined Zeds Dead on several stops around the country. Since his first EP, Jaenga has gone on to release on Deadbeats several more times along with SubCarbon, 19k, WAKAAN, SSKWAN, MorFlo Records, Insomniac Radio to name a few. He has played at some of the most iconic venues in the country, including Red Rocks, the Hampton Coliseum, Aragon Theater, Webster Hall and many more. 

Pat fully embraces his art, creating mostly everything from the posters, album art, show visuals, Instagram skit (also the music of course).  

Although is been a while since those first bus parties years ago, Pat still throws spontaneous pop-up parties with his secret text hotline, bringing hundreds of eager fans to unique locations. You can also find him hosting pre-show meetups, or even checking ID’s at the door of his own show to meet fans (dressed up as a security guard).
