Just when we thought there were no shows we wanted to see:

Saturday May 8, Location: TBA.

We first saw 16 Volt with Bile and Evil Mothers at the Majestic a hundred thousand years ago. And I think Chemlab opened for White Zombie at Harpos. Need to check the old stubs…

And, wow, you can download the entire 16 Volt back catalog for free. Time to replace those old/missing cds!

We’ve been lucky enough to help with this project, as detailed by the New York Times:

At home in New Bedford, Mass., [Peter] Pereira was contacted after the earthquake by the photographer Lane Hartwell. She asked if he would donate his work for use in “Onè Respe” (”honor and respect”), a 40-page publication intended to raise money for the victims. He did. So did Mary Ellen Mark, Chet Gordon, Kari Hartmann and Lindsay Stark.

Ms. Hartwell started working on “Onè Respe” the morning after the quake. By Friday, it was being sold for $12 through MagCloud, a project of the Hewlett-Packard Development Company, which describes it as a “virtual magazine newsstand in the cloud.” Because MagCloud is picking up the printing costs, all the receipts from the sale of “Onè Respe” will be passed on to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for Haiti.

All money will go to the Red Cross, and you’ll get a quality magazine with photography from some of the world’s best (Follow the NYT link above to see a sample of Peter Pereira’s amazing work in Haiti from November 2009, or just check out the preview at Magcloud). Pick it up today.

We just missed out buying this on the eBay, what a great photo:

We’ve purchased an hour of time on an FM station based in Highland Park.

Time/date TBA.
