There is not enough we can say about Randall and Cat. These two amazing humans are the owners of The Oakland Secret and they have created something truly special. They provide a safe place built around diversity, acceptance, music, and unity. In a world where spaces like this are becoming harder and harder to find, they continue to open their doors and their hearts to the community. If you have never been to a show at The Oakland Secret, you are definitely missing out. Go to a show. Support DIY. Support the people out there still building real community. Randall and Cat are absolutely part of the crew and we appreciate everything they do. #CommunityThroughMusic #SafeSpaces #UndergroundMusic #DIYVenue #EastBayPunk #LiveMusic #SupportLocalMusic #MusicCommunity #DiversityAndUnity #OaklandMusic #PunkRock #CommunityNotCompetition

The next True Unity Crew show at The Oakland Secret will be July 11th.

What we are building with the True Unity Crew is bigger than just putting on shows. We are working to create safe, diverse, and welcoming environments where everyone feels like they belong. We believe live music should bring people together, not divide them. Every band that plays our shows gets paid because we believe artists deserve respect for the time, energy, and heart they put into their craft. We are also working hard toward providing a fully professional backline at every show including guitar and bass cabinets, drums, and PA equipment to help make shows run smoother for touring and local bands alike. Our goal is to continue building something that supports the community while helping create better experiences for everyone involved. If you would like to help support these goals, donations are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to PM us directly or donate through our Venmo. Every bit of support helps us continue building something positive for the scene and the people in it. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported, believed in, and pushed the True Unity Crew forward. This only works because of community. #TrueUnityCrew #UnityIsTheNewRebellion #DIY #PunkRock #Community SupportLiveMusic BayAreaPunk SafeSpaces AllAreWelcome TrueUnityBooking PayBands DIYCommunity

On the very first edition of Part of the Crew, we’re proud to highlight Sasha Mereu and Ava LaKoshka, the duo behind @silkshadowspdx Based out of Portland, they’ve built a wedding planning and coordination company that leans into the unconventional. This isn’t cookie cutter event planning. This is dark romance, gothic energy, Victorian influence, and fully customized experiences for people who want their wedding to feel like them, not like a template. They don’t just plan events, they create atmosphere. The kind you remember. Certified, licensed, insured, and already making noise in the Pacific Northwest, Sasha and Ava are doing things their own way and doing them well. More importantly, they’ve shown real support for the True Unity Crew. Not for clout, not for optics, but because they genuinely believe in what we’re building. That matters. If this isn’t the first time you’re seeing their name, take it as your sign. Reach out and build something unforgettable with them: /contact Phone: +1 (360) 241 5369 Telegram: https://t.me/silkshadowspdx WhatsApp: https://wa.me/13602415369 That’s what this is about. Supporting people who are out there creating, connecting, and doing things with intention. That’s why they’re part of the crew. Unity is the new rebellion. #TrueUnityCrew #PartOfTheCrew #SupportYourPeople #CommunityOverCompetition #UnityIsTheNewRebellion #WeddingPlanning #PNWEvents #AlternativeWeddings #GothicWedding #DoItYourWay
