Alchemystics FREE ‘413 Family Party and Video Shoot’ this Sunday in Greenfield, MA

Just found out that the ‘Alchemystics’ will be at the Arts Block in Greenfield, MA this Sunday   from 4pm-9pm for a  show and video shoot for their song ‘Dance Upon the Corner’. Admission is free and there will be BBQ and live performances from: the ‘Fear Nuttin Band’, ‘Danny Pease and the Regulators’, DJ Theory, and more.

Originally the video shoot was scheduled for late August, but was canceled due to Tropical Storm Irene. The only storm they will be facing this week is the thundering of dancing and jammin. For more information check out the event’s Facebook page.

Great music, at a great price, in a great city. Come check it out.

Okay it is mostly completed. There are still some more captions to do, but since my computer has broken done I figured the best thing to do is just post it as is and put the finishing touches on it later.

StrangeCreek 2011 Program

      One of the features in my coverage of the ‘StrangeCreek Campout’ of this past  weekend that will be up on this site; is this recreation of a small pamphlet all Creek goers recieved upon arrival. Within its small black and white pages were statements, rules, and most importantly rosters of all the bands playing at the event’s three stages.            

      I did my best to replicate the flavor of the event that is in those pages, even photopgraphing the advertisments for other upcoming events. Also, in the rosters I provided a link to the information page of each band’s facebook, myspace, or offical website to give readers more information on the bands themselves. Excuse any spelling or grammatical mistakes in the texts below, chances are that is how they appeared in the actual pamphlets. Having  invested a real lot of work into this, I hope you will enjoy this feature. The photographs and a short article on the event will be posted in the next few days.
