The Elks - Part 1

Chronicling the underground music and counterculture of Pierre SD, starting in the mid-1990s. 

Episode One tells a tale of two local punk bands, Diseased and Stickman, adrift in a small prairie town in the late 20th century.  It is the story of them finding each other, and playing a show at the local Elks Lodge, unaware that they were about to start a decades-long legacy.

Montgomery Burns were one of the first touring bands to come through Pierre.  They played at the Steamboat Park Amphitheater on May 23, 1996.  On tour from Lockhaven Pennsylvania, they stopped in Pierre on their way between the Dillinger Four House in Minneapolis, and they played again with Stickman the following night in Rapid City.
