Roxtreme Bands & Music!
Roxtreme is going to be an unbelievable cool venue, comparable to nothing else that we know or have heard of.
We will feature almost exclusively local music. Music in every genre ranging the full spectrum with the core of most of the music focusing on and around rock.
For the first several years (at least) the venue will be outside. With a covered stage for the musicians and amptheater type seating for the audience. There is a stream running through the venue that we are are convinced will add a unique dynamic and we have hopes that the acoustics will be better than average for outdoor shows.
The other component that we are going to try to cultivate is to have a place where musicians can hang out, be themselves and get to know their fans... who are their friends.
Bands & Musicians - Read Please
What kind of musicians and bands are welcome at Roxtreme?
If you read through all the pages about bikes, boards and blades you probably think we are going to say all kinds of musicians will be welcome... and pretty much we are... all music styles are great, BUT what does the music say. What message does it convey.
If you want to play at Roxtreme we have some requirements that are pretty simple, but not always welcomed by everyone.
Although Roxtreme does not push anything down your throat we are a Christian outreach and we feel responsible for what music is played at the venue. If your band wants to play at Roxtreme we don't exclude any certain style and you don't have to play only "Christian" music, but your music does need to reflect a Christian worldview and be positive. We are always all ages, so we may even be a little funny about some intense songs with a great message, particularly of we don't know you yet.
We are going to schedule like bands styles together: i.e. rock with rock, metal with metal. Pop with pop, etc...
We need to write much more on this later, but we are hoping that at some point Roxtreme will be a very different venue in that musicians will come to play because they are musicians, not because they are stars or performers.
Sum It Up
In other words, from our perspective (as riders) whatever talent most people have is cultivated out in the public. Bikers learn their newest trick typically by trying again and again and eventually getting it right. They may crash dozens of times, maybe hundreds. And eventually they get the trick dialed... or, maybe even have to give up. But they ride because of the love of the sport. the occasional contest or show is a highlight, but they ride because that is who they are.
What if there was a place where the musicians are just people who love music. They practice what they love the way a skater or biker practices his or her new trick... in the open, maybe failing sometimes. But they play for the love of the music, not the fame. Not the show, but the music... or maybe, even something bigger.
Outdoor
Venue
What do you think of outdoor shows?
They can be just about the greatest venue to see your favorite band or artist.
Of course, the weather can be uncooperative and turn things into a real mess... or even freeze or cook everyone.
But a bit of bad weather can make a rocking show a major memory.
