Before the internet changed everything, we discovered new music by sending self-addressed stamped envelopes to record labels found in ‘zines and searching record stores for bands we first heard in skateboarding videos. The effort that finding new bands required was also what made the discovery so feel special. At 15, Nathan started an underground band in suburban Pittsburgh; getting the band out of the suburbs meant forming partnerships. Nathan went on to lead a subversive media arts group and sing for tech-metal band Creation is Crucifixion; today, he runs art + engineering studio, Deeplocal. This meet up is an opportunity to revive the lost sense of serendipity that was wiped out by the digital revolution. Thinkers and makers interested in the reflecting on the underground culture of the 90s and its influence on contemporary creativity are welcome. This meet up is open to all badge holders, and complimentary adult beverages are available for those 21 and over.
