February 15, 6 – 8pm

Free Thursday

Between 1980 and 2002, Olympia experienced a cultural explosion. The nation took notice during this unprecedented time of creative collaboration. Olympia’s music scene was featured in articles and magazines across the country. Record labels like K Records and Kill Rock Stars championed a feminist movement known as Riot Grrrl and introduced new sounds, including experimental, punk, lo-fi, and early grunge.

Join organizers Kelsey, Elaine, Mariella, and Markly in a conversation about Olympia’s music history and their work on the Olympia Music History Project (formerly contracted as the Olympia Indie Music History Project).
