Jesse's Basement presents Capital Radio Day: Oly Goes Live

We are very excited to announce the first of what we here at Jesse’s Basement hope will be many mini-fests we’re calling Capital Radio Day. The goal with these fests is to bring as many subgenres of punk under one roof and create a broader community. I know I speak for the rest of the Jesse’s Basement team when I say, when a scene is full of disparate little scenes, no one wins. Hopefully we can help build something bigger, more cohesive, and ultimately more exciting to be a part of as opposed apart from. For our inaugural outing, we’ll be going live in Olympia, Washington on June 29, 2024 at Wild Man Brewing Gastropub. Wild Man is a great little spot in downtown Olympia with both a big heart and a big room with ample space for bands, merch, and hopefully a couple of booths with crafts and zines.

Music-wise, we were able to curate a mix of new and established bands that represent a mix of ages, gender identities, races, and of course genres. We’ll have hardcore, post-punk, proto-punk, party punk, indie punk, post-hardcore, and good old fashioned punk rock.

Come get rowdy with:
Division Street

Kids on Fire

Storm Boy

the Wild Jumps

Hot Stepmom

the Cold Sweats

Human Vacuum

Los Ocupados

Electric Sweats

Ice Cream Social

Wild Man is an all ages space with good food, a wide assortment of beer and mead for the elder punks, and is in very close proximity to more options.

Hope to raise a fist and shout out a hearty “fuck yeah” with you before we wrap arms and spin around the pit together.
