Saturday afternoon, the Parish hosts the first of two Girls Rock Camp Austin showcases, featuring bands formed during the camp sessions. If you missed last summer’s tear-jerking, ass-kicking showcases, then this is another chance to realize 10-18 year-old girls are already way cooler than you.

Saturday sees GRCA-formed bands Randomness, Potential Chaos, Squeeking Piggies, Supernova, Outlet, the Dreadfully Ugly Children, Shmillion, Awkward, Homicidal Toys, Bitter NV, and A Hole in the Ceiling. Doors at 12:30pm, bands start at 2pm. A $5 donation benefits the camp.
