Well, here we are.

Well, here we are. Twinstock was a big idea that has turned into something real. Now it's time for planning. The fun part. No doubt. The coordination of a psychotic amount of bands and all of the equipment, sponsors, et cetera is something anyone would look forward to.

I should probably start by telling everyone what Twinstock is. It is an idea. It is a concert. A charity concert put together by Will Myers, Matt Ciani, Nico Ciani, Ian Bojalad, and John Myers. We are all members of the band Saints and Poets. The original idea was a day-long music festival with about a million bands playing. That's what it hopefully will end up truly being.

Now, I suppose these planning stages are the most important for getting the nformation out. When I figured out that a date had been offically set for this thing, i took the opportunity to let everyone know. The whole sha-bang is going down on June 27th, at the amphitheater in Twinsburg, Ohio. Hence the name Twinstock. Hopefully, as i said before, this will be a day-long event. Fun for everyone.

We haven't 100% decided on which charity to give the proceeds to, but we have a few ideas. Any input on that would be greatly appreciated. With any ideas, email us at finalrev@gmail.com or contact us on facebook or myspace. We're on there. We're hipsters.

The point of this first post was just to tell everyone why this blog has been created, as well as to give contact information for anyone.

If anyone reading this knows a band that they think will be interested in playing at this event, let us know. We are open to pretty much anyone, considering the huuuuge time slot we need to fill. That being said, there are a few restrictions on bands. First of all, bands need top play quality mucic. This isn't saying it has to be for everyone, but bands must have some kind of experience playing live so we don't have a bunch of clueless band members running around. This whole thing is complicared enough as it is. Also, bands should be able to fill at least a twenty minute time slot, if not more. This ensures that we won't have to chaotically switch between bands every fifteen minutes. It also eliminates bands who don't know what they are doing. Pretty simple restrictions, no? Oh, and try to keep it as clean as possible.

Tickets to this show will be printed and given to the bands, as well as sold at schools and stuff like that. They will be somewhere between 5 and 10 dollars. Probably one of those two numbers. We don't like having to make change.

I believe that is the whole low-down for now. More updates to come.
