Just getting ahead of it cause people have been asking. No Halloween Bash to Redismember this year. We're working on things, and technically "wE'rE n0T ALloWEd." Next year maybe who knows, we'll see.

That being said, if you are looking for a similar event check out Mad Farm Moto & Music Halloween Bash. Picture The Atelier, but instead of a living room we had a barn, basement, patio and like 47 bands performing, and was a 2 day event. Ben's Dark Art has done some pretty amazing artwork for the venue as well as Kwik Trippy and Will has been working nonstop creating the ULTIMATE music space. Located in Brooklyn, WI. Bout a hop and a skip from Madison.

Big reveal in the works! Many have been asking what is going on with The Atelier, many bands are still emailing us asking about shows, Im sorry I havent gotten back to everyone, its kinda a bummer explaining that every band missed their shot to perform because the Waupaca zoning commitie decided to be extra a**l.

But I have been creating and working with similar venues and diy projects that share the vibe and the spirit of The Atelier.

Our next show is coming up quick and to our local crowd I really hope you choose to make the drive to Mad Farm Moto & Music and enjoy The Atelier presents... The Great Solo Spectacular featuring Keith Daniel's Psycho Swamp Stomp Band Catgut9 and the ever so irreverant Jaw Knee Vee this is gonna be a neon jungle of a show! In the mean time stay tuned and please be patient.

**pictures for proof that although Waupaca seemed okay with indy music ventures the zoning commitie has other obligations.

This Saturday come out to Mad Farm Moto & Music and support DIY venues!
