Minnesota/Midwest area unite!

[miskibaul Profile]

Thinktank is an open collective formed to encourage awareness and activity for the harder, darker, stranger sounds of the underground. We're here to create a scene for what others are afraid to take a chance on, and we're doing it the way it should be; collectively, intelligently, passionately, like there's never another opportunity to make this happen. Bringing our disparate thoughts, abilities and styles together under a common cause, we can and will allow under-represented and never-heard artists to have a voice in spite of unwillingness on the part of promoters and venues. We feel that there's no reason we should stand by and be subjected to the banal tastes of already-established scenes and cliques. We believe that diversity doesn't have to mean mediocrity.

Thinktank is open to anyone feeling left out in the cold because of their difficult tastes. We are offering a free (or at least very cheap) monthly event as well as semi-regular meetings to plan, discuss, and create a community. There's no leaders and no followers, just individuals excited that a movement is happening and willing to do what they can.

The greatest contribution you can make is simply to show up at an event; if you like what you hear and see, come back next month and bring some friends. Meetings and shows will be advertised long in advance, and you can stay informed and help shape what's to come by getting on the mailing list at the shows and joining the Thinktank internet forum.
