re: valdosta's punk scene

so, about two years ago i made a post asking about valdosta's diy scene and got replies regarding the diy house and the local shows hosted there.

unfortunately, since i've made that post there's been radio silence regarding the diy house or any shows and that sucks.

anyone got any info on this? since vito's is back would doing shows there be a possibility?

Hi I ran Valdosta DIY House. We’re on an indefinite hiatus. We want to do shows again in the future but in a proper space separate from our home. We love what we did but it can be exhausting to plan organize and execute recurring house shows.

If you’re open to traveling, I recommend visiting the music scene in Gainesville FL. RoadhouseDIY is a great place to start - they promote cool shows all the time and they’re good folks. Tallahassee and Jacksonville also often have cool shows going on.

If you aren’t already, you can follow me on IG @alanciation - I don’t post often but when I hear about a local show I’ll share the info. Like a few months ago some younger kids organized one at the skate park.

true, half of the “alternative” people here are assholes. ruins the vibe a lot of the time
