Roll call

On Friday House of Targ played host to a fundraiser in aid of For Pivots Sake, which refurbishes skateboards for the needy and generally gets the youngsters rolling. It was also something of a lead-up to the "Black Forest" event Sept. 22-23, which will feature a lineup of punk combos at Beau's Oktoberfest (as previously noted - it is in September, not October). Entertainment was provided by Neck, Audio Visceral, Needles//Pins and The Steve Adamyk Band. First off, here's Jeff from Neck!

It's been a while since I - or anyone - has seen the Steve Adamyk Band play live, but here he is, back with a new bassist (since the usual Sonic Avenues crowd is engaged elsewhere) and celebrating his birthday to boot.
