On Saturday, March 27th, come party with two Portland bands, Wampire (indie-dance-pop-rock played here December – you may remember their Kraftwerk cover, and pants removal?) and White Fang (rock rock).
Elephant Rifle (local supergroup featuring Clint of Short Hair, Troy of Swahili, Brad of the Frontiersmen – Jesus Lizard-esque rock), will perform their second show ever alongside these Portland funsters. Cheer them on! Come prance the night away! It’s all happening at the Holland Show Space at Rainshadow (121 Vesta).

There’s now over $5,000 in prizes. It’s HUGE and one lucky winner takes all. And with only a limited amount of tickets available, odds are great for winning. Check out the amazing list below…we hope you get inspired to buy a ticket.
Tickets are $100 (all proceeds go to Holland Project!), and you can purchase one online (click the Donate tab above), or do it in person or by mail. Also, think about splitting the ticket with some friends (10 friends at $10 each, still gets each person a ton of prizes if you win…or 5 friends pitching in $20, or two friends at $50….you get the idea).

Zombies, robots, planes and explosions. The Holland Project, in collaboration with the Teen Art Council of the Nevada Museum of Art and KNPB Public Broadcasting, is excited to announce the return of the 3-Minute Film Competition, an open-ended glimpse at the exciting scene of short-form independent film-making in Reno and beyond! It’s been a year, and it’s time for a sequel.
Starting February 8, Holland will be accepting submissions for the competition, and the rules are the same: Make a film. Make it 3-minutes long or less. Put it on a DVD. Keep it clean-ish and hate-free. That’s it!
The submission deadline is March 15, after which the films will be juried and the top ten selections will screen at the Nevada Museum of Art on March 26 during Teen Art Night.
This year’s partnership with KNPB offers further incentive for budding filmmakers: as an exercise in self-promotion, entrants are encouraged to make a 30-60 second promo of their film – those selected by our jury will air during breaks on KNPB Channel 5, and the full versions of their films will be featured on KNPB’s brand new online video player alongside the network’s stellar lineup of community programming and award-winning documentaries.
To submit a film for consideration, entrants may submit their entry on DVD to: The Holland Project Headquarters, 30 Cheney Street, Reno, NV 89501

Fans of lady-fronted lo-fi pop rejoice! Holland is happy to announce that we’ll be hosting the likes of San Francisco’s very own Grass Widow, a trio with ghostly harmonies and disarming pop punk riffs in the vein of the Raincoats, The Slits, and the more recent Best Coast. They will be joined by another Bay Area act, Rank/Xerox, who according to DJ Rick of stellar college radio station KDVS, “play postpunk with uncommon urgency not unlike The Proletariat, Tripod Jimmie, or Crisis, but with more energy, exuberance, and a saxophone”. Local supporters include the lovely Merry Mannor and Penny & Her Lowercase Kindred, in a rare appearance – not an event to be missed! Saturday, January 23rd @ Rainshadow. 7PM.
Oh yeah! And Noel is making her DJ comeback, it’s been a minute and we’re very excited!
