Almost a week later and we’re still riding the high from Initial Shock! We’d like to extend heartfelt thanks to all of our performers, each of whom brought their own unique and dynamic presence to the festival; to all those who attended, as your support was vital to the success of the festival; to our volunteers Owen Cole, Daniel Broomberg, and Sarah Etter whose help was essential in keeping the ship afloat and we could not have done it without any of them; and to our sponsors Cheap Thrills, Untitled Zine and Pizza Bouqeut for having our backs and providing us with treats for performers and attendees alike. Final shout-outs are owed to La Sotterenea and their staff for being great hosts, and to Lore for being the official festival photographer.
Stay tuned! Our upcoming shows are Death Kneel and Moss Harvest on August 25th, Bastard Noise on December 2nd, and mark your calendars for the next round of Initial Shock on July 6, 2024!
Thank you one and all,
Aaron and Taylor
