Rockin’ out in your parents’ garage is one thing, but playing in front of your peers on top of a public parking garage is something totally different. The Back to School Garage Band Bash continues for a fourth year. Located on the top of the Sixth and Cherry Street parking garage, the event gives teens a chance to have some end-of-summer fun and welcome the new school year.
The bash features four Columbia teen bands: Phydeaux, The Red Resistance, Guilty Party and Disrupted Perception.

“I try to get different bands each year to give them exposure,” says Erin Carrillo, recreation specialist for Columbia Parks and Recreation, a co-sponsor of the event.
Shea Spence, drummer for Phydeaux, looks forward to the elevated performing. “I think it’s cool that we can go on top of a parking garage (to play),” she says. “The venue’s cool.”
