Hoedown Reunion Show I

1991 has been dubbed "The Year That Grunge Broke" and while the rest of the world raged on with power chords and grimy hooks, the Tri-Cities staged its own musical revolution with such awesome bands like Diddly Squat, Small, One Eye Open, Loudermilk, and The Ladybird Unition. These were just a few of the great bands that exploded the music scene of the Tri-Cities in the early 90s and left their indelible mark on the musical map. Hundreds of concerts, thousands of cds sold, and countless memories were created in such places like The Hoedown Center, Skate West, and The Kennewick Fairgrounds. Northwest favorites such as, Black Happy, Hammerbox (featuring the Tri-Cities own Carrie Akre), and punk rock pioneers Fugazi all paid visits to the Tri-Cities and helped shape the thriving scene.

As the years have clicked by, the strength of the music and energy have left a lasting impression. That's why on Friday October 10th and Saturday Oct. 11th we've put together a couple of concerts celebrating some of that rich history of the Tri-Cities music scene; exploring the timeframe in the '90s ('90 - '99) when the scene really broke open.

The line-up for the shows are:

In addition to the shows, we're adding in an art exhibit that covers the scene from that time, by recreating flyers and covers of releases (albums, demos, etc) as well as getting band members, show promoters, managers, sound crew, label representatives, to share their thoughts on their time in the scene back then. So far we'll be including quotes from local bands like Loudermilk, Small, Spydial, One Eye Open, Dance Imperative and northwest favorites like Hammerbox, Gas Huffer, Black Happy, Seaweed, Medicine Hat, and The Gits.
