Grand Forks' Genuflect Records and local entrepreneur group Vastlane.org are sponsoring a concert at the Empire Arts Center on Friday, March 7. The show will be a reunion show of sorts for Grand Forks band Straphanger who has not played locally since April 2002. Four acts will play the Empire that evening: June Panic, Sin Horses, Straphanger, and Glow As Ember. Grand Forks native June Panic will headline the show in support of his new album Baby's Breadth (Secretly Canadian Records). Sin Horse Nic Garcia, fresh off the self-release of his 5-song solo CDEP Title, joins drummer Erik Smested and turns up the volume once again to earn the title "Grand Forks' loudest band." Straphanger is Jason Lay (guitar), Brian Schill (bass) and Isaac Turner (drums). The group has been performing since 1997, and has conducted a number of tours of varying length. Their first full-length record The Grain Belt was released in December 2001 on Genuflect Records. In 2002 Straphanger released a 7" record on Kansas City label Mental Telemetry Records. The Grafton-based Glow As Ember bring their emo-influenced sound back to Grand Forks following a brief hiatus of live dates. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; admission to the all ages concert is $5. Proceeds will benefit the Empire Arts Center. Vastlane.org is a network of young artists, entrepreneurs, technologists, culturalists, and knowledge workers connected to create cultural, recreational, and career opportunities in the Grand Forks region; the Grand Forks-based Genuflect Records has been releasing music by local and not-so-local artists since 2000.
