Here are our PRFBBQ 2024 bands. Tickets and schedule coming later this week.

Rest in peace, Steve Albini. This community wouldn’t exist without you. We will miss you sorely. I bought a blue jumpsuit because of you—and countless records. Your legacy is greater than music. It is about being decent to each other. (1/2)

You and I weren’t friends, just friendly. And that was plenty. So, friends of Steve’s: Feel free to share your love for Steve and Heather here. -Calvin (2/2)
