The site is currently under construction.
From the original Open Call:
The Iroquois is GONE
The Secret Garden is GONE
HeeBeeGeeBees is GONE
The Coffee Pot is ...STILL HERE
But Where is the history of Punk in the Valley?
Hidden in a hundred folders, boxes, basements and closets scattered around the valley.
Let's pull them out and shove them into Roanoke's face again!
In conjunction with this semester's "Punk and Politics" class (taught by Simon Nolen, ex-The Lobsters), Community High School is launching a major project to re-discover, share, and preserve the history of Punk counter-culture in the Valley and its surrounding area.
To pull it off we need YOU--the people who have created and sustained the community from its beginning up to the present day. It can only work with this grassroots support, so please spread the word!!!
We Want Your
ZINES / FLYERS / ALBUMS / PHOTOS / FOOTAGE
STORIES / MEMORIES / RANTS!
All donated zines & flyers will be carefully xeroxed & scanned, re-assembled, & RETURNED TO YOU, along with free copies of stuff donated by everyone else:
EXHIBITION
of SW Virginia Punk albums, zines, posters & photos at CHS's Liminal Gallery, curated by Warren Fry and the CHS Curation class, from May 2nd—June 3rd; with a Punk reunion and discussion at the opening on May 6.
ROANOKE PUNK ARCHIVE & DISTRO
We will keep master copies of everything & make copies always available. Copies of the archive will be donated to the Virginia Room local history archive, CHS, and other archives & libraries around the state.
Run by Olchar E. Lindsann, CHS teacher & librarian and experienced Zine Archivist, with help from the CHS Zine Club.
INTERVIEWS
by students in Community High School's Punk & Politics class, for inclusion in the book mentioned below. Help pass the spirit on to the next generation!
A new BOOK
packed with all of the stuff donated by YOU to tell the story of Roanoke Punk in its own words and images!
