"Camera pans to Pittsburgh in early November 2001. The place, Roboto 2, the offshoot newer, bigger venue opened by the Mr. Roboto Project. One week, we have Thursday, Piebald there, the following week Bane, Reach the Sky, two weeks later we have Converge, American Nightmare. Now Roboto 2 sits empty, closed because of fire code violations. Fast forward to December. Millvale Industrial Theatre. Digger. Plans for Dillinger 4 to be coming through. Legendary space that has played host to everyone from The Casualties to Coalesce to Wesley Willis. Doors closed after 3 years because of? You guessed it, fire code violations. Read on for more and information on how you can help out.
Pittsburgh is going stale with regards to shows/venues/etc. What I've done is started making plans for a new venue. I've set up a paypal account on my website (www.pittsburghpunk.com) and will have donation canisters set up at local record/tattoo/skate shops.
We're looking for donations from anyone that's willing to help. Think, someday your band may need a show in Pittsburgh. You could be investing in your future.
Labels can help too. And we hope that you do. Thanks in advance guys. Prove to people that the scene is strong.
