Communist Daughter & Alpha Consumer @ The Turf

AKG 414s in the spot for those who want to know. This was the Second Annual Racktacular Breast Cancer Benefit, this year held at The Turf Club. If this disease has afflicted any of your family or friends a great place to show your support is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. Thanks to all who came out and made this event a great one and of course thank you to The Turf Club for hosting.

Benefit show for the Daniele Finley Foundation.

The Daniele Finley Foundation's mission is "to provide emergency support to young adults in the Twin Cities." Here's another snippet from the foundation's website regarding last night's event. "When Daniele died, we asked that people give memorial donations to the Animal Humane Society. We still like that idea. People also gave us a basket of cash at the funeral and in the mail. And on September 27, a benefit will be held at The Triple Rock to raise more money." If you would like to make a donation please email or call 651-644-4540.

The line-up included; The Hostages, Lusurfer, Poor Weather Club, Best Bitch In Show, and DJ Rock the Monkey. Having taped The Blackthorns at The Varsity in '07 I was particularly interested in catching Poor Weather Club (ex-Blackthorns). Unfortunately that was the only set that I taped and I'll check with the band on getting some of those tracks posted.

On a side note, sorry to say that the Blackthorns recording mentioned above is trapped on a HDD that went out on me in July '07. I'm hoping to recover it when data-recovery does not cost $$$.
