2010 Blowout
Sad news for the Columbus music community, as the Columbus Music Co-Op has announced that there won’t be a parking lot blowout in 2012. Considered by many as an alternative to Comfest, this yearly event was the highlight of many’s rock and roller summer calendar.
With some key people leaving the CMC, looks like this will be a rebuilding year for the organization. Full press release after the jump. Continue reading
So this is Saturday, and it’s always a good time. And it’s free. And proceeds go to the Columbus Music Co-op. And some bands are reuniting for it (Denovo, Ugly Stick). You should come. Set times: Continue reading

Scott Johnson shot some pretty great video of Saturday’s Parking Lot Blowout in Columbus. Here’s a couple vids from the Gibson Bros reunion and several from Scrawl’s set.

For folks not in Columbus or just not able to attend the Parking Lot Blowout (Gibson Bros, Scrawl, Turks) on Saturday, the tech-savvy people at the Columbus Music Co-Op will have a live stream going from 3-10pm here.
And as we mentioned previously, Eric Davidson of the New Bomb Turks will be reading from his new book, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, on Friday night at the Wexner Center (deets). At noon on Friday, the Wex is also going to stream a conversation with Davidson and fellow Turk Matt Reber here. (“The two musicians will discuss the Columbus scene, past and present,” says the Wex.)

Thanks to Davey Highben and his treasure trove known as the Never Ending Compilation for pointing me to this video of the Gibson Bros playing “Big Pine Boogie” at Comfest in 1987. Apparently it’s from one of the band’s self-released tapes called “Has anybody got an assburn?”
The Gibson Bros will reunite at the CMC’s Parking Lot Blowout in Columbus on July 10. New poster after the jump. Continue reading
