Wow…what a weekend! Jack Rabid took the spirit of what embodies the magazine that he’s been helming for thirty years and booked a wide-ranging lineup of many musical styles over two days, perfectly mirroring his own (and collectively the magazine’s other contributors) eclectic tastes. Set at The Bell House, day one featured six (originally seven, but EDP broke up just a few days prior, so obviously they were a scratch) bands, with more of a punk-rock flavor permeating the overall sound. Indeed, fellow staff member Steve Holtje was expertly manning the DJ tables in between sets with a wide mix of punk rock classics.
I’m not gonna go into too many details on this story…it’ll mainly be heavy with photos, so I will let the images do the talking.
