Bluetip and Hoover are both reuniting to play the St Feliu Festival in Spain in August.

They may also play together in the UK. No plans for the USA have yet been announced.

Chris Bopst, who played bass in Holy Rollers and the Alter Natives, has been doing radio shows and podcasts from Richmond, VA in recent years and sent along a link to one of his podcasts featured in the Richmond News.

Now deemed "arsenic free" and safe for all, Fort Reno will again host its annual Summer Concert Series on Mondays and Thursdays beginning on Monday June 23 with Olivia Mancini & the Housemates, New Rock Church of Fire, and Evolution.

Fort Reno has hosted these concerts every summer for over 30 years. The concerts feature a mixture of seasoned touring bands, young bands just developing their sound and high school bands for whom this may represent their first time on stage -- all from the Washington, DC musical underground. Many, many Dischord bands have played Fort Reno over the years and perhaps more importantly -- many of the musicians who later formed bands that were on Dischord gained their first live experience with high school bands that played Fort Reno.

Once funded by the city, The NW Youth Alliance (the volunteer group that manages the concerts) now relies solely on private donations for their entire budget and could definitely use your support.
