  1. Stand Up. Speak Up. Rock Out. Wednesday, July 01, 2009

    Hey there, music fans.  Stand has a little something just for you next week. On Tuesday night, they’re painting the town yellow…and we’re all invited.

    On July 7, Dollar Beer Night comes to JJ’s Bohemia, and Stand will be hosting a free rock and roll pow-wow focused on Chattanooga’s future. The fridges will be stocked with cold beer, the stage packed with great music, and Stand volunteers and field organizers will be on-hand to find out what Chattanooga’s music fans care about.

    The night begins at 8 pm with local garage doo-wop three-piece Mocknbird, followed by Atlanta space rockers This Piano Plays Itself and Miami powerpop from Ex-Norwegian. Throughout the evening, there will breaks for discussion, surveying and prizes.

    “This is a chance to reach a very specific, savvy and often critical group of Chattanoogans with a lot of great ideas that are rarely heard,” says Thomas Perry, LeadHere Fellow. “We’re very proud of the music community in Chattanooga and would like it to get bigger and better in the coming years.”

    Come out to JJ’s for free music, cheap beer and thoughtful dialogue. For more information, check out chattanoogastand.com and www.myspace.com/jjsbohemia.
