New up and coming local music label Rat Race Records held a “Summer-ween” concert this weekend in the backyard of a house near UNR with bands Mom Cars, FKA Fingers, and Unexplainable Cattle Mutilations.
Attendees sported Halloween costumes in honor of the last day before the Fall Equinox.
The Summerween concert was the first concert to take place in this new location. The house is occupied by three roommates who met while working at the Holland Project.
Many volunteers arrived to assist in the concert’s set-up with tasks like setting up the sound system and helping with ticket sales at the backyard’s entrance.
There were also tables set up where local vendors merchandised their art. This included handmade jewelry, screen printed tee-shirts, and crochet succulents.
Mom Cars came all the way from Grass Valley to play in front of this enthusiastic house party crowd. While on stage, their lead singer Brendan Le told the crowd Reno is one of the best cities to perform in.
After this successful kickoff, Rat Race is set to hold another concert at this location with Shauna Dean Cokeland, Orrral Fixation and again Unexplainable Cattle Mutilations.
