Announcing SHoD X: Labor Day Weekend 2009
The 10th anniversary of SHoD will be held back where it began on the US mid-Atlantic east coast, where doom music was born.
SHoD X will be at
Krug's Place, 906 N East St,
Frederick, MD
September 3-6, 2009
Stoner Hands of Doom is one of the premier annual gatherings for underground heavy/stoner/doom music in North America. SHoD has been held annually since 1999 in various small venues throughout the USA. Many acts are unsigned/unreleased and many travel thousands of miles to gather in the name of rock. The concept was dreamed up by promoters Rob and Cheryl Levey, who have planned, booked and organized it since its inception. Under their guidance, the festival affectionately known as SHoD has grown over eight years from a one-day event to a weekend-long gathering, featuring over three dozen bands.
SHoD X TENTATIVE SCHEDULE

KRUG'S INFO Sorry, due to the complexity and length of the fest, this event is 21+ only. The club is roomy, with lots of seating, and great food. Food is tavern fare and generally priced from $6-$14. You will be allowed to leave and return throughout each day. http://www.myspace.com/krugsplace VENDORS If you are a music-related business interested in setting up a table for all or part of the show, please contact us and let us know. Vending is $50 per table per day. Tables will be available for bands to sell merch - this does not count as a vendor. TRAVEL INFO Hotels Unfortunately, there are no hotels within walking distance of the club. Here, however, is a listing of available hotels and the distance they are located from the club. We recommend using Hotwire Trains Amtrak makes train travel easy. Take the train to Washington DC's Union Station. Once in Union Station, you can take a MARC train up to Frederick. Flights Generally speaking, flying into the Baltimore (BWI) airport has better airfare rates than going to Dulles (IAD) or Reagan (DCA), both of which are considered DC area airports. Check flights with Expedia Rental Cars If you want a rental car, the best rates are found on Hotwire If you have other questions, please contact Cheryl using the Contact form on this site.
