Obamafest!

Hello party people,

I know it’s been a while. I was in a fiery plane crash over the antarctic. But thanks to the wonders of cannibalism, I survived.

I really don’t know where I’m going with this…. Oh yeah - Hang out with us this Sunday! We’re playing Obamafest at 4th and Girard in Philly. It’s from noon to 7 and we’ll probably play around 2pm. See below for the press release and whatnot.

Later,
JJ

On Sunday April 20th a free OBAMAFEST CONCERT AND RALLY will be held
at 4th and Girard Avenue in Northern Liberties. Event co-sponsors
Curbside Chef are donating their spacious lot to host the concert,
which will feature some of Philly’s brightest artists with music as
diverse as the city itself. Grammy award winning Cee Knowledge of the
Digable Planets will share the stage with legendary drummer Calvin
Weston, mellow hipsters The Buried Beds, alt rockers Surgeon, among
many others.

The concert will bring Philly bands together in support of Senator
Obama’s candidacy for the Presidency as the battleground hits home
this coming Tuesday April 22nd. Event co-sponsor Fire Productions,
who has taken an active part in democratic voter registration,
continues to support the natural relationships between the arts and
political activism. The goal is to bring as many democratic voters
together and to raise enthusiasm to participate in Tuesday’s election.

In addition to the music, the event will host Obama volunteer
registration tables, speakers on behalf of the Obama campaign,
catering by Curbside Chef and Las Cazuelas, and vendors of arts and
crafts.

The line up for the concert is:
The Codes
Calvin Weston Trio
Surgeon
John Francis
Cee Knowledge
Drink Up Buttercup
Anam Owili-Eger
Murderhouse
Victor Victor Band
The Co Champs
Unlikely Cowboy
Buried Beds
Andrew Lipke
Papertrees

    I’m still wondering when you guys will get up here to Fredericton NB Canada. You’re style of music is very popular around here.
