The Alternative Library rocked on into Wednesday night with four different bands playing unique sets that set them apart from each other and vibed with the crowd. Earl Torgeson, Top Shack, Community Center and Blue Star gathered a crowd on Wednesday, Oct. 12. The show was for all ages and had a $5 cover charge. Inside the venue the seats were lacking, but the jams were not. The first band to play was Earl Torgeson, a project created by Ryan Torgeson. Earl Torgeson is a new band that was founded two months ago. Their set at Alternative Library was their first show. The band members of Torgeson have been playing with each other for a few years, only recently becoming a band. Inspiration for Torgeson comes from the songwriter Harry Nilsson and the band Pavement. “We just want to have fun, and play music for people and get a good response,” Torgeson said. “It is all for fun.” Torgeson’s favorite song he has recorded is Western Dream, a single on their Bandcamp page. Top Shack, the second band to play, had a harder sound than any of the others, and showed up to the show with their dog. The drummer, Von Gifford, described their rock and roll as a mosh-up of grungy-blues-punk. Top Shack has been together for a year and is from Glacier, Washington. They have one album out called “Anarchy House Presents Top Shack,” and another in the works. The third band, Community Center, came all the way from Baltimore, Maryland to play. Community Center tours the U.S. and Canada six months out of the year. The band’s latest album is called “Horns and Thorns.”
