Longtime Boise local, Tim Beck disagrees. Enter, Lucky Charms and Audio Thrill. Local school principals and teachers call it unsupervised Rave's and suggest that parents are under-informed about this "underground" and seedy event. Their cries made the news and their claims of drunken border-line orgies were the product of these un-supervised school events. Tim Beck immediately rebutted and aired his contrasting explanation and the music of Audio Thrill continues.
We at TixxFixx.com believe it continues because Audio Thrill stepped up and blasted the claims out of the water. Tim's casual, but passionate explanation, dismissed all their accusations and he continues to defend his position that these are not in fact Raves...
Raves started in the early 1960's and are the offspring of the beatnik rallies. these raves had characteristics that we tried to compare to Audio Thrill's to see which side was closer to the truth...you decide for yourself:
| Raves: | Audio Thrill: |
| • Completely underground | • Completely out in the open |
| • Last until the sun comes up | • Strict hours of 7pm-12am during teen night |
| • Alcohol present and available <-18> | • No alcohol w/exception: mixed age events |
| • Excuse to use club drugs | • No drugs aloud |
| • Fire codes disregarded | • Limited number of tickets sold per code |
| • Typically no entrance fee | • Tickets are cheap, but not free |
The list could go on. The difference seems basic. Raves filled a void from the 50's forward and helped in Europe to overcome the simple bar scene and in effect helped create what is now known as a dance club.
In America, raves filled the void created within the disco generation after the "Disco Sucks" movement killed it. The desire for deep heart pumping pulses of repetitive beats inspired a generation to enjoy dancing, while doing it under the radar of the popular culture.
Raves always end the same way; with a governmentally involved stoppage. They end because they planned on ending after a surge of defiant behavior by their organizers and the attendees.
Bad clubs and bars end the same way. The trick for Audio Thrill in their apparent quest to exist and teeter on the brink of mainstream and underground, is to remain consistently in front of the discussion, offer openness, and the most important ingredient in any event that includes under aged expression...security.
This balance will ensure a long life in Boise and finally a safe, clean environment with a fresh new option for our underage youth and raising the bar for the city's goal of becoming the most livable city in America.
