Land of Several Street Dances

Coming soon to a street near you in Bloomington, the third and final street dance of the summer! Scott Kellog has graciously restarted the grand Bloomington tradition of street dances, though they do not too closely resemble the street dances of the '80s and '90s
Probably because it isn't the '80s and '90s anymore. Eric Indiana, a.k.a. Eric White and now Eric Spears was the architect of fun, free punk rock in the streets of B-ton through the last couple decades of the 20th Century. Eric's interest was in the Scene, which no longer exists due to the fragmentation of said scene in the late '90s... due to a lot of things, including an increase in professionalism among many of the musicians, lots of new blood coming in that didn't feel beholden to the old guard, but probably also simply due to the fact that change happens, taste in music happens, people grow old, yadda yadda yadda.

So Scott's street dances have featured quite a different array of bands than you would have seen 20 years ago. There really has been only one punk rock band thus far, the ever-inspiring Coke Dares, but there has been a great response from the community (even during the dismal rain of the second dance) and a number of great performances.
Coyoba is a young band featured in the third, upcoming street dance and even if dub reggae isn't your thing, this krewe will move even the hardest of hearts. Seriously; they are that fuckin' good.
The bash will be in front of Max's Pizza, which is great for several reasons: you can buy the kids some bread sticks or pizza, you can buy yourself a beer, you can use the restrooms, and you can soak up some air conditioning should that become necessary. All in all, a grand return of a great Bloomington tradition, updated, and done extremely well.

The street dances have also been co-sponsored by the very cool B.E.A.D. (Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District) and the much beleaguered, stumbling on its last legs, lost and soon to be dead Bloomington Area Arts Council (BAAC). More on the imminent demise of the BAAC in future entries.
Date and time: October 2nd, 7th Street in front of Max's Pizza

Lineup:

Creatrix, Splinter, and Coyoba
