Epitaph
By Various Writers
It’s over.
After 2.5 years, we have called it quits - we’ve moved on to bigger, inevitably more adult, things. Many of us are now in or have graduated college. Many of us are over 21. Zach Hale is currently hosting a radio show at RainyDawg radio at UW. Morgan Keuler can be found shooting for The Stranger. Tristan Pelton is working with the Vera.
We want to thank all the people who supported us and helped us while we were active, especially our parents, The Vera Project, Capitol Basement, the Easthope Family, The Lonely Forest, EMP SoundOff!, Three Imaginary Girls, Alina Misra and Skinny Productions, The Paradox, The Redmond Firehouse, Idiot Pilot, The Divorce, Schoolyard Heroes, BOAT, Mon Frere, The Cops, and all the local bands who gave us interviews and made our Friday nights so fun, Bumbershoot, Sub Pop and Sarah Moody, CAKE records, and all the local labels who treated us like the real press.
Don’t give up fighting for the underage. The existence of (wonderful) venues like Vera is NOT an excuse to ban the underage from every other venue. Most of all, keep going to shows and loving the music. We had a blast.
If you are underage and would like to start something similar to MercSound, feel free to email Justine (or any of us). We will hand over tips and hints - and our address book.
Staff, if you’d like to edit this article and add where you’re at or someone you’d like to thank, it’s open to modification.
Thank you all for making this one of the most exciting parts of my life so far.
Justine
