If you didn’t know exactly where Foxwood was, you’d never find it. A nearly unmarked turn off a two-lane highway in Kingston Springs brings you winding up a hill into a wooded punk-rock Narnia — complete with a ramshackle stage lit by string lights and table lamps, a PA that mostly won’t short out the breaker box, and an avowed commitment to “drama-free outdoor music.” Run by members of local indie-rock bands Zoobookz and Bats, Foxwood filled a DIY gap in the summer show season, giving young people a place to feel their feelings after more than a year in isolation. Though venue organizers dropped their plans for a fall season in the face of the Delta surge, we truly hope they’ll be back in the spring with more good vibes.
