DESCRIPTION:
On Mar. 19, 2011 The Historic Red Dog in Peterborough hosted the first 24h music project. The Banned Family was one of five bands with a twenty minute set created and rehearsed in a 24 hour time period. The process was as follows: On Fri. Mar, 18 at 9 pm, 10 songwriters gathered. They were randomly paired off, and each pair had until 8 am on Saturday Mar. 18 to write a 20 min original set, that could include 1 cover song, but did not have too. The songwriters gathered again at 8 am on the Saturday, where they were given a list of another 20 participating musicians. They drafted their bands (like a hockey draft) and at 9 am the participating muscians arrived. The bands then had the day to learn and rehearse the new set. The first band, Not Now, Clayton, went on at 9 pm on the Saturday. Members of The Banned Family are Jay Swinnerton, Melissa Payne, Gerry Gregg, Rob Viscardis, Aaron Lishman and Tommy Street.
