This will be the 3rd birthday party that got cancelled because of the town of Oxford. We will have more details later today.... We are unable to open Rox's this weekend. The building inspector is going on vacation. He is supposed to be back by Tuesday. We have all the building permits needed. We are ready for repairs but cannot do so at this time. Please help support Rox's and call these numbers for the Oxford Town Hall to state your opinions....be prepared, they may come up with excuses. TOWN HALL CLERK 508-987-6032 SELECTMAN 508-987-6027 BUILDING INSPECTOR 508-987-6012 We have been working our asses off to get Rox's back open and running, so don't give up on us! Kim, Roxanne & Gail Kim 508-304-5796 PLEASE REPOST AND CALL THE TOWN HALL TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT REALLY ENJOY GOING TO ROX'S AND IT INVOLVES A LOT MORE THAN JUST ROXANNE THE OWNER. ALL THE BANDS ARE SUFFERING A LOSS, ALL THE FANS ARE HAVING THEIR FAVORITE BANDS CANCELLED, BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE BEING CANCELLED....THIS IS NOT RIGHT. MORE INFO TO FOLLOW AND DON'T WORRY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. YOUR SUPPORT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! ROX'S THE ROCK HOUSE |

Even though the place doesn't entirely have their crap together, and a lot of people would like to give up on them, Rox's still serves some purpose. They're the only club in the Central Mass area that exclusively books metal, hardcore, punk, grindcore, etc., which means it's easier to book a show there because you don't have to contend with whatever mainstream acts the more established clubs like to book on weekends. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 3:21pm - Sacreligion ""] once they get inspected and do all their repairs they should be all set in terms of the liquor license bullshit, they really need to have more than one person on security(and that guy usually runs the door) it's waay too easy for people to drink in the parking lot there, which is why they get busted all the time |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 3:21pm - Sinistas ""] I'd agree Samantha, except even if you CAN get a show booked there, it'll be shut down because the town has an issue with them. At this point I don't even care who's right, but by taking this public Rox's isn't going to win. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 25,2007 7:43pm - Samantha ""] Broken record, indeed. ----------------- Bulletin Message ----------------- From: Rox's The Rock House Date: Jan 25, 2007 9:46 PM We will not be open this weekend....still waiting for things to be done...town building inspector is on vacation, structural engineer has jury duty today and we would definately not have time to have the work done by Friday evening. So hang in there....we are doing the best we can. Thank you to everyone who is behind us and supporting Rox's thru this bullshit! We really appreciate it and once we are back in business ~ We'll put something together to show our appreciation! If any bands have been added to the JagFest 07 this Saturday, please feel free to post a note on the back door to Rox's incase people have come to Rox's to see you play. You can give them directions (go to www.myspace.com/jagfest). Thank you to everyone who cares! Rox's The Rock House Please Repost ~ty~ |
