Hey everybody, So yesterday I was at the last show ever at the Rodeo Ristra. It was wonderful to see so many people come out and support...and yet at the same time it was sad to see (and hear) them tearing up and re-doing the downstairs room, the very room Folk You! has been proud to call home over a year and a half, while the show was going on. At the Ristra, Ivy not only created a space for artists to perform, but she also created a scene. A scene which, thankfully, is moving today, with Ivy leading the way, 2 and a half blocks down the road to the Shannon Lounge. BlowUpRadio.com is proud to be moving Folk You! there too. It is at times like these, with yet another great venue closing it's doors on original music, that we really do need to band together. We need to take the wonderful scene Ivy has built up in Hoboken and combine it with all the other scenes in different parts of the state, and that my friends is the heart and soul of what the NJ Indie Music Fest is all about! I know I've been talking about this show pretty much every week for the last month now, but a lot of us have put a lot of work into this show and we want everyone to come out. Seperately, we are local musicians and local music fans...together we are a scene, a collective, making ourselves heard to the masses! Maybe we can even turn some new heads into what we already know, our local music scene rocks! NJ Indie Music Fest Sat, Oct. 23rd @ 6pm Centro Night Club 2080 Route 35 South Amboy, NJ 732-727-1505 Lots and lots of info (including a complete line-up) @ www.njimf.com By the way, I am sitting here waiting for the Republican "army" to take one line from a newsletter I wrote a couple of weeks ago out of context and arrest me as a terrorist. Sound crazy? Just look at the way they are taking John Kerry's statements out of context... Peace, Lazlo |
