The Tinder Box

About Me

My name is the Tinder Box

and I am the resurrected zombie corpse of a dream!

THE TINDER BOX was a collectively run no-profit music venue and arts space on Elliot Street in downtown Brattleboro, VT. We were open for two and a half years, from June 2006-January 2009. In that time we hosted hundreds of shows and bands that came from all around this and other continents. While we no longer have a space of our own, our spirit still wants to dance:

SATURDAY JUNE 20, 2009

7:30 PM @ The Stone Church

(intersection of Main Street & Grove Street) Brattleboro, VT 05301.
sliding scale of between $6-10. NO DRINKING!
GHOST MICE (folk punk from Bloomington IN/Gainesville FL)
HEATHERS (folk from Ireland!!!)
WINGNUT DISHWASHERS UNION (folk punk is dead!)
ENDLESS MIKE AND THE BEAGLE CLUB (explode)
...and others to be announced!
We are not looking for more bands. Don't ask.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DRINKING AT THIS EVENT! The venue is around the corner from the police station and a residential neighborhood. There is fragile stained glass all along the walls of the space that will not survive rowdiness. You'll get kicked out for being a jerk, and that's no joke.
