SOCIALIST FUND RAISER






Bikehaus hosted a fundraiser for the International Socialist Organization on Saturday. Caterpillar Tracks played along with The Read, and Digital Kate. As usual, nobody showed up until about ten o'clock, but, of course it ended up packed. The Read started the evening by playing first; it was quite the typical set in which people hit the floor, gave high fives, and sang along with every word of the songs. Caterpillar Tracks played after The Read and I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the have been around Cincinnati for five years and I feel like an asshole because they are awesome and I have never heard of them. I spoke to them and tried to encourage them to play more shows at places like Bikehaus so the other end of the Cincinnati scene can hear them. Definitely a great band to see. After the bands played, Digital Kate set up and ended up Djing through what may have been the worst snow storm in history. I think we all now know that we cannot leave a fire extinguisher within the reach of anybody at a Bikehaus show. I will leave it at that for now because I have some pictures to go along with that story.
