Hoping to promote the local underground music scene in Prince Albert, a new event is slated to rock the city this weekend with an all-ages music show.

Gabrielle Giroux with the local band, The Wolfe, is one of the organizers of the Pretty in Punk Fest, happening this Saturday at the Prince Albert Golf and Curling Club. Giroux said the event will feature a variety of punk, rock and pop sounds.

Bands slated to perform include Bombargo, Black Rain, Killjoy, Between Bridges, along with a variety of local musical acts. 

“I think it’s just to make music in general more accessible to more people,” Giroux told paNOW about the event. 

“All the bands are such an eclectic mix, there’s everything from synth grunge to radio pop, to metal to rock to punk so really, there’s something for everyone there.”
