Lethbridge Girls Rock, this we know so The Lethbridge Girls Rock Camp has been helping young women learn how to rock for the past five years, with the sixth annual Lethbridge Girls Rock Camp happening July 9-14.
A fun fundraiser for the camp is their annual band swap show, which I was unable to play at Saturday, June 16 at the Owl Acoustic Lounge.
But I did catch a couple acts at the early starting event.
The idea is local musicians get together, and form a band in a week, work out a set, perhaps work out some originals and play their first show at the end if the week, mirroring the activities of the camp itself.
Oorganizer Sil Campus opened up the show by thumping on her bass and singing several ’90s songs from Sleater Kinney and the Breeders.
The next band, Skipping Rocks came up with a unique idea by playing a set of songs written by Girls Rock campers in the previous years.
So they alternated between bass, drums, keyboards and guitar and did a great job of it.
