No one has waited for this moment more than me. The 20TEN team has been working hard since November 2009 to put together several ideas that will help grow the South Carolina music scene. This grand idea will ultimately give back to touring national touring bands and help pay for bands from our state to get out on the road and tour. Right now we are a long way from making that happen, but the ball is finally rolling.
On March 11th at New Brookland Tavern we will be releasing the first Scene SC Sampler along with new Shirts and stickers. That show will feature 3 of the 18 bands on the sampler. Those bands being All Get Out, The Restoration and Calculator. We honestly couldn’t be more excited to have them all together for this show.
The sampler, shirts and merch are but one small part of where we are going. We plan on hosting more shows around the state on a monthly basis along with a Zine that we are committed to getting out once a month. The Zine will be a compliment to the articles on the website and will be distributed in Charleston, Greenville, Florence, Rock Hill and maybe even Myrtle Beach if they are lucky. Hopefully one of these things will make us enough money where we can funnel that money back to bands that are on the road.
We might even come out with a Calendar half way through the year so people can replace the ones they have already lost or are torn and tattered.
Stay tuned, keep in touch and get involved.
sounds like a winner
