Another #lamestock update!
Why Lamestock?
Hey folks its Joe Bruno here, I get a lot of questions about Lamestock that hopefully this blog post can answer.
What is Lamestock?
Lamestock is a festival type showcase of Colorado Springs Rock and Roll/Punk Rock music designed to shine a spotlight on the most underrated music in Colorado. At the same time it is also set up to give all proceeds to local charity to help LGBT youth (insideoutys.org). The idea originated last year at a battle of the bands organized by Alex Merrill, that we need to have more festivals for Colorado Springs bands. The name though is inspired by The Leechpit's infamous bumper stickers that say 'Keep Colorado Springs Lame'. We feel Colorado Springs is most of the time Lame; Most notably the political and religious divides that keep this town unaware of the amazing talent we have here.
When and Where is Lamestock?
April 26th 3pm at The Black Sheep 2106 Platte Ave. Colorado Springs, CO. All-Ages. $10
Can my band play Lamestock?
No. Unfortunately not this year. There are only so many spots for the event and many of the bands playing had been asked from last years battle of the bands that have been making big improvements in the scene over the last year(i.e. media recognition, touring, new releases). The goal though even if your band cant play should be to come support. If we have a good turn out our current sponsors may want to do it again next year and maybe help fund an all day outdoors event for free!
What is happening at Lamestock?
Starting at 3PM bands will take the stage non-stop till the end of the night. We are putting together a local art gallery inside and a BBQ outside. We also have some prizes up for grabs just for attending: A Skateboard Deck from BC Surf and Shop, A grab bag and gift card from The Leechpit, Shirts from Stay Grounded Clothing Co, and $60 tattoo (18 years of age and older) from Self Made Tattoo and Piercing.
Why should i go to Lamestock?
If you and your friends have nothing going on Saturday April 26th you should really try to come to Lamestock. Not only are you supporting and hopefully discovering some of the best music in Colorado Springs, you are supporting local youth in need of the non-judgmental kind of support they deserve just like anyone else. Colorado Springs is a town that has a lot to show, but sometimes bigotry and hate are the only things outsiders hear about this place. This is our(you, me, and everyone's) opportunity to show them differently.
