AS IT STANDS

STARLITE ROOM
01.2009

SUBMITTED BY CLEMCAT HUGHES

This venue has given me so many memories, even before I was an actual Edmonton’un (my auto correct apparently knows how to spell). From my first concussion and crowd surf attempt at the REV. Strung Out was headlining and Diesel Boy was riding the wave of their pants falling down. Equally hearing stories from my brother and sister of Propagandhi asking for the audience to walk them safely to their tour bus. Only because a group of homophobic white suprematists had gathered in front of the bar. Their only reason for hate was the truths of love and non-separation (aside from ignorance) I still feel to this day Propagandhi portrays. From all of those memories I had always put that on my bucket list, to perform on a stage so many have graced their presence with. That goal was achieved long before I got my foot in the door as an employee.

This was that time enjoy…

AS IT STANDS: is an Edmonton-based progressive hard rock band. While their style is influenced by a broad spectrum of music their sound is uniquely cut with elements of folk, metal, and jam rock. With all three members being musicians of considerable prior experience, the band's blend of popular hard rock cover tunes and distinctive original material has elicited an explosive response from audiences at a number of venues around the city, including The Starlite room, The Urban Lounge, Jet Nightclub and several others. Their fan base is steadily growing with help from web-based promotion and word-of-mouth.
