Post Zoinks!, Rob Borges and Bob Conrad were joined by their wives, Andrea Borges and Deb Conrad, in garage indulgence. In five years, Prima Volta played a total of about eight shows and recorded a four-track demo.
Sticker Guy Pete here, I'm organizing this to celebrate 15 sticky years! HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SKINNY AS OF TODAY:
There are no tickets yet, but there will be. Capacity of the venue is 250. We will announce the venue soon. The lineup shown below is who is CONFIRMED -- there are several more bands & discjocks in the works! If you would like to attend, my recommendation at this point is to arrange your travel. Be in the Reno area by early Friday evening, March 28th, and stay til Sunday the 30th. I recommend *not* reserving accomodation yet -- Friday will not be *in* Reno -- but only 45 minutes away. We're working on Saturday -- it will probably be in Reno (or Sparks). So most likely, you'll be spending one night in one town, another in Reno or Sparks. At any rate, I would like for everyone to stay in the best places possible, so hold off and wait for my recommendations as to where! Okay?
Again: if you already know you want to attend, mark your calendars, get the time off of work, and arrange your travel now! Sit tight for accomodation and ticket info. Check www.stickerguy.com for details & updates, they will be posted soon!
We are currently taking part in a benefit campaign put together by a local alternative radio station (KRZQ) here in our hometown of Reno, Nevada. The organization we’re sponsoring is called “Ronald McDonald House,” which is a “a non-profit organization that provides a home away from home for families who have seriously ill children obtaining treatment at local hospitals for an extended length of time.” Now, some of you may be turned off by the association of McDonald’s to the organization. If that’s the case, please understand that, as far as we know, the organization is backed by a local franchise owner and not the parent company. This is a good cause no matter what the affiliation is with the McDonald’s corporation. Anyway, what we are asking of you is that you help out and contribute. You can donate any amount you want, but of course the more you can afford the better. What do we get out of this you ask? Nothing really. The band that accrues the most donations in their name gets regular rotation on the station for a song of their choice, a live show sponsored by the station, and a day as guest DJs at the station. Since we aren’t very active these days we most likely won’t even come close to winning, so we don’t care about the prizes. Help us help others by clicking on the logo below. Thanks for reading this.
We’re playing in Reno again this Sunday, April 29th @ XOXO with Santiago from Santa Rosa, CA. Santiago is fronted by Gabe Meline formerly of such great bands as Tilt, The Mr. T Experience, and Ground Round. Check out Santiago by clicking the flyer below. And for all you under 21 folks, do not despair, there is an all ages BIJ show in the works. Keep an eye on our page for details. See y’all Sunday!
