Record labels like K Records and Kill Rock Stars championed a feminist movement known as Riot Grrrl and introduced new sounds, including experimental, punk, lo-fi, and early grunge. In 2022, the City of Olympia's Heritage Commission hired Kelsey Smith of Lefty Copywriting LLC and Elaine Vradenburgh of Window Seat Media to research, document, and preserve the city's musical history. The Olympia Music History Project was established in October 2023 by Kelsey Smith, Mariella Luz, and Markly Morrison to continue working on the project independently. Guests are invited to join a panel discussion with The Olympia Music Project members to explore its influential music scene. The event will feature a live performance by post-punk band Chance of Ghosts consisting of Olympia music veterans Dave Bailey (Roostertails) on guitar, Heather Dunn (Tiger Trap, Dub Narcotic Sound System) on drums, Olivia Love (Mosquito Hawk, Black Betty) on lead vocals, Jon Merithew (the Noses, C-Average, Mosquito Hawk, Blues Fairies) on guitar, and John Shultz on bass. This free community event is open to the public, courtesy of Umpqua Bank's Third Thursdays.
