A local show house in downtown Harrisonburg hosted a "night of Math Rock" showcase. Three out-of-town bands performed, and no tickets were sold. The set-up and sound rigging was rudimentary, as is expected for house shows.

Camelot,
a
locally-loved
show
house
in
downtown
Harrisonburg,
VA,
hosted
a
Night
of
Math
Rock
showcase
on
Saturday,
March
21st.
The
show
started
at
9
pm,
with
the
music
starting
at
around
9:30
pm,
and
continued
well
into
the
night.
No
tickets
were
sold,
seeing
as
it
was
a
house
show,
but
donations
were
heavily
encouraged
to
support
the
three
out-of-town
bands
on
the
ticket.
The
line-up
started
with
Beds,
a
four-piece
band
hailing
from
Northern
Virginia,
followed
by
Night
Idea,
a
two-piece
from
Richmond,
Virginia,
followed
by
Fight
Cloud,
another
Richmond-based
band,
and
closing
with
Julia
Pox,
a
three-piece
local
band.
Though
the
entire
ticket
was
enticing,
I
was
only
able
to
make
it
out
for
the
finale
performance
by
Julia
Pox.
The
set-up
and
sound
rigging
was
rudimentary,
as
is
expected
for
house
shows.
The
bands
have
to
bring
their
own
sound
equipment
and
instruments,
though
microphones
are
usually
shared
between
bands.
In
Camelot,
the
bands
set
up
in
the
houses
expansive
foyer,
blocking
the
front
door
and
facing
the
rear
of
the
house.
Julia
Pox
had
the
drummer,
with
a
microphone
fixed
on
his
kit,
at
the
back
of
the
stage
and
flanked
by
the
two
guitarists
and
singers,
who
each
had
an
amp
hooked
up
to
their
guitars
and
a
microphone
apiece.
Though
the
sound
equipment
was
college-kid
expensive,
Julia
Pox
had
no
problem
projecting
their
sound
across
the
entire
house
and
the
packed-in
crowd.
Julia
Poxs
performance
was
energetic
and
loud,
which
is
the
perfect
combination
for
Saturday
house
shows.
The
crowd
loved
them
from
the
minute
they
stepped
on
stage,
and
not
just
because
the
three
members
are
friends
or
friendly
with
most
of
the
house
show
regulars.
There
was
some
genuine
talent
streaming
from
their
guitars
and
over
the
crowd,
enough
to
garner
up
vigorous
head
banging
despite
their
minimal
lyrics.
Julia
Pox
even
dared
to
cover
Mix
Tape
by
Brand
New,
a
well-loved
emo
punk
band
from
the
early
2000s,
which
excited
the
crowd
(and
myself)
into
screaming
along
with
the
lyrics
and
crowd
surfing.
One
guitarist,
Tristan
OShea,
even
crowd
surfed
himself
while
still
playing
the
hook
to
the
chorus.
Overall,
the
night
was
extremely
successful.
The
crowd
was
energetic
and
supportive,
and
the
bands
all
feed
off
of
and,
later,
expressed
gratitude
for
such
a
positive
reaction.
Julia
Pox
were
the
clear
favorites
of
the
night,
and
will
no
doubt
continue
to
impress
math
rock
and
non-math
rock
fans
alike
as
they
ride
their
budding
success
as
far
as
it
will
take
them.
