Underwater Getdown decided to throw us a benefit out of the goodness of their hearts, and we love them for that (actually, we love them anyway, but that is beside the point). Support community media, support local music, and have a kickin' good time all at once for a measly 5 bucks!

"OH, ADAM!"

while cocking my head to the side and grinning.

Radio Phoenix Presents a benefit concert to help out Ashley Foster. Ashley underwent a life-saving operation to transplant her digestive system. Her medical expenses to pay for the operation and medications will amount to almost $4 million. This is a benefit concert in a series of charity fundraisers to help her pay off her medical debt.



Great Bands, Great Cause.
We all hope to see you there!

Hey Adam. I'm glad you found me. You played a great show that night man. If you're ever back in town this way, you know where to go. Stay awesome friend.

I'm going to say my favorite is The Universe is All There Is. Although I like it all and you remind me of weird hybrid of Greg Brown and Robyn Hitchcock. Both of whom are the sexiest bastards that ever lived and ever will be. When are you coming to AZ? Let's do a show.

hey dude, no bay area show.. it just seems with school out i dont know where we'd get a show or the turnout and stuff..
we were originally going to have a day off in SF but we got an offer to play a show with jessie williams in brentwood so now we dont have a day off.

we must play a official show before we go home for the summer/tour though!! maybe some intimate thing in the city with people you know or maybe i can add you on a show with some touring bands that might come through in late april.
