Come see the premiere of Veggie Tales newest release “Pistachio” before it is available in stores!

This event is for children K-5th grades, a fun night complete with dinner, activities and the feature film from Veggie Tales Pistachio – The Little Boy That Woodn’t (a lesson on listening to your parents).

VeggieTales twist on the beloved story of Pinocchio! Young Pistachio gets involved with some slippery characters. His bad choices and disobedience towards [his father] Gelato lead to some sticky situations.

This event will be held at South Albany Community Church – 2418 SE Geary St. Albany, OR 97322. Call the church office for more details (541) 926.4762

Veggie Tales came out when we at hurdcore.com were a bit younger, though aimed at grade school children, take a peek at the song that started it all and see if you can’t keep yourself from laughing at a singing cucumber…

Hurdcore.com be attempting to reconnect with the artists and venues we were introduced to in 2009 but until we can get that information up and running, let these tidbits refresh your local music taste-buds. We’ll cycle chronologically through the 2009 hurdcore alumni.

Turned Up Missing Pop/Indie – Ashland, Oregon. These indie popsters were the first to exchange an interview with hurdcore.com and we were excited to see them live locally in Lebanon, Oregon. Unfortunately the band took a hiatus that turned into a full blown break up before that show date could come about. If you are browsing itunes and like catchy indie pop grooves look up their single “I’ve Got Friends“.

Love Unfailing Tacoma, Washington based Melodic Hardcore with a clear message –

Our music definitely an outreach to everyone. We all are very close to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Our music is definitely a religious outreach to everyone but yet even if the listener is not religious the music can still be appealing to them too.

7 Horns 7 Eyes – if you have a fever and the only cure is METAL, then you need some of what this Seattle, Washington based metal monster has to offer. 7H7E recently completed a West Coast tour with Demon Hunter and Living Sacrifice and has been in the studio grinding out another release. Here’s a little taste of what 7 Horns 7 Eyes will be serving up on their next album, video demos a guest solo from Jeff Loomis of Nevermore.

Swinglow brings their brand of hardcore to the world through their Ocean’s EP which they’re hoping to drop around February 20, 2010.

Becoming The Archetype these Georgia boys are getting ready to take their metal on the road to South Africa for a September 2010 tour. BTA is EPICally brutal and has some of the most creative tour concepts – Bring Your Own Beard Tour and Deliver Us From Emo (European Tour).

Whether its hardcore, metal, rap, punk, indie, pop, hip-hop, rock or the likes, we will bring you local music information and interviews to get you connected. We are fans supporting local music!

HEY GUYS! We are Rock For Reason! We are a non profit organization ran by Teens in Washington State (Mainly Maple Valley). We put together concerts to raise money so that we can bring clean water to 125,000 people in some of the remote villages in Ghana Africa. We have been a group since 2007, and don’t plan on having an ending year. With every dollar we raise, it puts us one step closer to finishing what we set out to do, change the world. With more than one way to help us out, most free of any cost, what will you do to change the world?

GOALS!
1)Bring 125,000 people CLEAN drinking water
