"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our
corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable
institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful.
If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."
Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)

Hey, Meltdown Festival Fans!
It's that time of year again, festival season is approaching. So a couple very important things to share with our friends, we moved the date of Meltdown this year a week later, August 14th-16th, 2009, same awesome location at the awe inspiring Darrington Whitehorse Mountain Amphitheater! This is an initial line up below with many more bands about to be announced in the coming weeks! Click on the poster image and you can visit our website for more info on the bands and what is to come. Now is the time to mark your calendars and tell your friends about Meltdown Number 9. This is going to be one of the best years yet, but we are dependent upon people like you to spread the word and get your friends out to see what Meltdown is about.
Time to get serious about NYE & FLOWMOTION is throwing the best party around ...
