What's Good: The Off-Campus Guide to Burlington

On Sept. 18, an unparalleled spectacle is going down in Vermont.

Nine...count 'em...nine bands are playing two floors at Nectar's and Club Metronome in downtown Burlington. BTV's best in rock, hip-hop, ska, punk, indie and alt-country will shake the very foundation of 188 Main St. for an excellent cause. A $5 donation a...t the door will go straight to The Radiator 105.9 FM, Vermont's listener-supported non-profit station.

The lineup is impeccable:
Swale, The Aztext, Japhy Ryder, Husbands AKA, The Vanderpolls, Lowell Thompson, In Memory of Pluto and..

Just announced — Cannon Fodder (alt-whatever) and Greyspoke (Jam)

Hosted by local comedian Alex Nief.

If it's even possible, this show gets better. We're giving away all kinds of stuff all night:

1. A Complete 2009 Burton Snowboard Package from Seven Days including a CUSTOM ICS board, EST bindings, and OZONE boots -- everything you need to hit the slopes! -- valued at over $1000! (http://www.sevendaysvt.com)

2. A Season Pass to Sugarbush -- $419 value (http://www.sugarbush.com)

3. The "All You Need is Love" spa package from Cynthea's Spa featuring a body scrub, body wrap, hot stone massage and hot stone facial -- $275 value (http://www.cyntheaspa.com)

Don't worry if you're an underclassman — this show is 18+. We wouldn't want to leave anyone out!

So be sure to keep up to date with new announcements about The Bands of Burlington Showcase by texting "WGME" to 21321 or by checking out http://whatsgood.7dvt.com/2008/08/local-music-101.html.

We hope to see you there — you won't want to miss it!
