First
Show at JFK February 1.08
Charlottetown
house shows are dependent on the community as a whole. Without
the support of rad people such as home owners / renters greeting
away bands with open arms, letting them crash on their sofas and
playing in their kitchens, the community would fold. Equally important
are the kids who frequent the shows. If they did not show the
upmost respect for the people and venues we would be in serious
trouble. So far so good.
With
the fall of most major all ages venues throughout the Charlottetown
area we have turned to putting on shows in our own homes, away
from the over priced stages and meathead security guards.
The
Charlottetown house show community is not without challenges,
but it seems that when one house gets shut down, another is always
ready to step up... this is the case of JFK House. The first show
went off without a hitch. It was an all local show featuring the
likes of insano-grind kids Aww Yeahhhh, super-fun drum/bass duo
Party On!, and country and western gun slingers Boxer The Horse.
