Punk Island June 21st on Governors Island
That’s the name and location for the annual “Punk Island” show. A show filled with damn good music, tons of fun, with the great “New York” skyline as your background.
This is the second year for this venue, so come on out and show some support for your fellow punk rockers. This year yours truly will be playing at the festival. I’m the new drummer to “The Thirsty Pirates”, a pretty kool band that me and my bassist/friend/roommate have joined and changed the sound for the better.
There will be 70 bands playing on 11 playing areas and one main stage, there will also be a “Skate Demo” being sponsored by Connecticut’s “Worship Skateboards”, here is their link, http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worshipskateboards.com%2F&h=32bb70c6efe54b6aa8941cdf68cc55dd
This should be a fun packed day for all, and it’s free. That’s right free, where else can you see 70 kick ass bands and a skateboarding show with beautiful scenery for free? The event will go from 10am to 5pm sharp. And yes even the ferry to get on and off the island is free. For detailed ferry info check out the following link http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.govisland.com%2FVisit_the_Island%2Fdirections.asp&h=32bb70c6efe54b6aa8941cdf68cc55dd
Merchandise includes shirts, stickers and the limited edition skateboards can be bought at the island. Again, proceeds from all sales and your charitable donations (no matter how big or small) are our only means of financing this great event. So note that YOU are the one making this event a reality through your purchase and donations. After all, where else will you be able to see over 70 of your favorite bands play for FREE all in one exciting, action-packed day?
You may also purchase merchandise prior to June 21st via our official website: http://www.myspace.com/mmnypunkisland or email directly at: slug@makemusicny.org
