Japan Rocks Benefit Show
04.13.11
In Japan's time of need, every little bit helps. Local musicians are gathering Thursday night to benefit The American/Japanese Red Cross Society at Alex's Bar in Long Beach.
The proceeds from the cover charge, a mere $8 for an entire evening of face-melting music, will all be donated for relief to the nation of Japan.
The bill for Japan Rocks includes early rock'n'roll and rockabilly inspired Inazuma (Japanese rock heroes from Los Angeles), the energetic rock and funk band The Studiofix (from Los Angeles and OC), rock and noisy "space jam" Wild Pack of Canaries (from Long Beach) and big city psych Papercrown (from Long Beach)
The evening will also feature sets from DJ Dennis Owens (The Good Foot/Free Moral Agents) and DJ OLDBOY (Thee Tambourine), as well as Japan Relief Art Prints by Elisa Tanaka. All the proceeds from Elisa's art sales will also be donated.
Additional donations are welcomed.
Alex's Bar is at 2913 E. Anaheim St. in Long Beach. All attendees must be 21 or over to attend.
