Summary

On any given weekend night, hordes of University of Oregon students party in living rooms, basements and kitchens. But instead of trap music blaring through Bluetooth speakers, sweaty 20-somethings play indie rock to a rowdy crowd of their peers. In the morning, residents move couches back into place and clean up empty beer cans. Murmurings of the next show make their way around town through Facebook and word-of-mouth. Eugene students and recent graduates have thrown concerts at various houses around town. As the scene has waxed and waned, so has the production value of shows. But a new collective, the Blue Plant Collective, has been hard at work making professional-sounding house shows a norm at any house around town. Check out the original story here: https://www.dailyemerald.com/2018/10/15/ensuring-the-quality-of-eugenes-house-show-scene/ Music in this podcast is by Spiller and Oink. This podcast was produced and edited by Sararosa Davies.
