The first Rock n Rescue was held Thursday, April 5 at Karma at 8123 Broadway. More than a 100 people packed inside to see and hear REV, CHRIS BOSS BAND, MARK ODOM BAND (M.O.B.) AND STARCHILD.
Rock n Rescue is not only a music competition leading to the AT&T Summer Concert Series this summer, but it's also an awareness and fundraising effort for the City's Animal Care Services. In that regard, many people made needed donations to benefit the cats and dogs; one person donated $100 alone!
These four outstanding bands gave great performances and all deserved to win the first competition. When it was all tallied up, Starchild won the night.
The good news is, there are 12 Rock n Rescue's left and with the exception of Starchild, which is now in the running to open for a national act and receive some international exposure from AT&T, Chris Boss, M.O.B and Rev can compete again at some of the other clubs. I hope they choose to do so as they were very impressive and the crowd loved all of them!
The next Rock n Rescue is Wednesday, April 18 at Revolution Room.
