About Us

We here at TRASH-O-RAMA (presented by TrashKulture.com) present this annual show because we like music, cars, bikes, dogs, and parties. We are not, nor have ever claimed to be, a non-profit organization--we make a private donation from the proceeds of the show to benefit awareness, care, rescue, and adoption of canines and all animals' right to live. We do not have to provide any financial information about our event to anyone, however, there are competing promoters, bands, and vendors who wish to implicate we are less than credible. Below you will find our stats for TRASH-O-RAMA.

In 20+ years of concert & event promotion and touring in our bands, we here at Trash Kulture have endured harsh allegations throughout our history, and there are far greater numbers of people who like what we do than those who do not. Our history speaks for itself, and can only thank all of you for your support, comments, & complaints, it only makes the next TRASH-O-RAMA bigger and better....thank you for making our event a success!

In 3 years, we have given 55% of our Gross Concert Sales to benefit Dog Rescue & Adoption
