This weekend is the G.E.A.K. Fest Benefit (Giving to East Atlanta Kids) put
together by two local photographers. The two-day show features 8 local rock
bands. Proceeds will go towards a kids club art project.
Jill Sieder
talks about the benefit and the Kid's Club on WREK (Ga. Tech radio, 91.1 FM)
on Tuesday night from 10 pm to 11 pm, in between songs played live by The
Yum Yum Tree. Check 'em out: http://www.theyumyumtree.org
On Friday June 20th at The Earl, the lineup includes: DAMES A'FLAME BURLESQUE,
Sharks and Minnows, The Wrist vs the Futurist Party, and Starlight Conversion.
Doors open @ 10pm, you must be 21+ to enter.
On Saturday June 21st at the Echo Lounge, the bands playing will be: MYSSOURI,
Moreland audio, American Dream, and The Yum Yum Tree. Doors open @ 9pm, and
you must be 18+ to enter.
Both
shows cost $6, or get a 2-day pass for $9. The 2-day pass is available online
only at www.badearl.com or www.echostatic.com. Must be 21+ for the 2-day pass.
Come on down, and encourage your friends and neighbors to attend! Besides
enjoying some good music, the first 50 people to arrive on each night will
receive a raffle ticket to win prizes from Sacred Heart Tattoo, High Museum
of Art, Criminal Records and Heaping Bowl.
Money raised from the show will go towards a photography project that photographers
Isia Cooper and Mark Parker will do with the kids to document life in East
Atlanta. They are going to buy some cameras for the kids and have them photograph
people and places that are important to them, and teach them some photography
basics. It's a chance for the kids to open their eyes not only to art and
creativity but maybe to see their community in a different perspective.
