However, it became clear on Sunday night that Warhouse is much more than just a venue \u2013 it\u2019s a brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">That much became apparent about an hour and a half before showtime. Punk bands <a href=\"http:\/\/passaway.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pass Away<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/makewarmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MakeWar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/trophylungs.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trophy Lungs <\/a>and Tender Defender were getting set to play when the fire inspectors showed up. The gentlemen in uniform, who were gracious and professional, informed all those who had arrived to that point that the venue needed to be shut down until it is brought up to code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It would have been very easy to get down, cancel the show, and send bands who had come from as far away as Boston \u2013 yes, <em>that<\/em> Boston \u2013 back out on the road. However, the Warhouse wouldn\u2019t have it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What they did have, though, were willing neighbors. Enter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariannasphillipsburg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marianna\u2019s Restaurant &amp; Banquet Center<\/a>, who share the same building as Warhouse Collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Long story short, the restaurant stayed open, made some pizzas, served some drinks, and the show went on as planned. All four bands rocked that restaurant, and the many folks who stuck around loved every minute of it. Nobody would have cared if the show had to take place outside in the parking lot \u2013 people were there to join together and hear some punk, and that was all that mattered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For me, this was one of the most fun and unique shows I\u2019ve ever attended, and I\u2019ve been attending shows for 15 years (in case you\u2019re wondering, I started by following <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superkirk.50megs.com\/\">this band<\/a> around when I was 14). I also observed first-hand the resolve and passion of Warhouse Collective in a whole new light. It\u2019s admirable to say the least, and it\u2019s what is going to help these guys go far in whatever they pursue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly, a note to Marianna\u2019s: Your pizza is amazing, and it looks like you have a nice little venue on your hands for after table service ends for the night, if you\u2019re interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lehighvalleyunderground.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11364 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LVU-Square.jpg\" alt=\"LVU-Square\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13909,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1024,2091,1042],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-lvunderground","category-music"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/012.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13908"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
