Rock for a cause, and Rock for its own sake!
Lest anyone think that Brooklyn indie rockers can't put together a Bono-sized benefit at a moment's notice, JellyNYC, Trampoline House, and KEXP have joined forces for not one, but two benefit shows at Southpaw. Brooklyn Responds will consist of two kind of spectacular shows--the first of which is Wednesday, 9/21, and the other is on Sunday, 9/25. Just look at these line-ups (I'll omit exclamation points, since I'd be putting them next to about half of the damn bands on these lists):
9/21
Radio 4
Craig Wedren (of Shudder to Think)
The Cloud Room
Dirty on Purpose
Pela
Domino
Au Revoir Simone
9/25
They Might Be Giants
The Wrens
Matthew & Ira (of Nada Surf)
Richard Buckner
Sam Champion
Eiffel Tower
Harlem Shakes
I mean, really. Everyone understands that that's really almost overkill, right? I'ma be in FLA, USA for the first show, but you best believe I'm gonna make it out for the second right when I get done with the other awesome thing on Sunday.
What other awesome thing? Why nothing less than the annual guaranteed great fucking time that is the Atlantic Antic. In particular, the little stretch of the Antic between Hicks & Henry that is Magnetic Field's Antic Celebration, which will go a little something like this:
The Ponys (Thurston-sized Coup!)
The Hong Kong (I don't know who they are!)
The Soul Shakers (Almost literally too much fun!)
Detachment Kit (Has your heart exploded yet? Have another Mozzarepa!)
The Dansettes (Mreow!)
Mighty Fine (I don't know who they are, either!)
There is literally no beating this week, luvvies. You can't do it, so don't try.
