This is an awesome idea that should turn into something really beneficial for everyone. GET INVOLVED.
PUNK ROCK TAKEOVER produces a weekly showcase of diverse local bands from all around the Greater New Orleans area in order to generate a cross pollination of musicians and fans. All of our shows will include bands of varying age groups and talent, bands from different subcultural and geographical communities. All of the proceeds from these shows will be funneled into local nonprofit organizations.
PARTICULARS:
Shows will happen every Sunday from 2PM-6PM at the Big Top Three Ring Circus (1638 Clio Street, uptown near Lee’s Circle). Free food will be available, and drinks will be sold at the bar. All shows are all ages and cost $5. With book donations for the Iron Rail Infoshop or Books 2 Prisoners, or with non-perishable food donations to help offset our food costs and to be donated to local outreach programs–the door price drops to $3.
