PJ Olsson's Rock Camp 2009

I was playing around on youtube tonight and I found a few PJ music videos.

Jeni stopped by Rock Camp to do a story on PJ and the Kids.  Here is the new story produced by Jeni and aired on TV6.  Stay tuned after the news story for a few outtakes.

Here’s Take the Pieces and Go from show day along with a guitar solo by Ben at the end.

“Take the Pieces and Go” written by PJ Olsson, performed by the Rock Camp band, recorded by Brassard Media.

We decided to have a little fun with the dancers during the last week of Rock Camp.  PJ and the girls sang and danced to PJ’s song PUSH in front of a white screen.  King helped me record it.  Here a little music video, just for fun…

The Level 2 Skatepark (located in the Dee Stadium) was started by a group of kids ranging from 11-19 years old, ten years ago. We did the fund raising , the construction, and ran it when it was ready.

Never would I have thought that it would have come to last this long. We have been hosting bands here from the start it’s a big part of how we raised money to start it and keeps us able to pay rent. Every local band that plays always lets the park keep the money we would pay them, knowing it will help keep this going.

A big part of why we wanted to start the skatepark was to give kids a place where they could hang out have fun and stay away from some other things they could be doing. We have a good record of problem free shows, and hope it stays this way. For a small town we have an amazing scene of people that come and support local and traveling bands, and have made some good friends along the way with some of the bands.

Having people give their time for free, for this many years means a lot to me and the people that have been here from the beginning.

All the bands playing for this show are local. So please come and check this show out and see what we have created over the years.

P.S.   This show is also going to help us raise the money we need to get a new audio mixing board so we can keep having shows, and keep on with trying to do something positve for the kids (and the kids at heart).
