Free Spencer Rollins:
July 25th, 2008
Ok technically he is free. Its not exactly Rodney King versus the LAPD back in the day. But when your buddies need a helping hand, you jump at the opportunity to do any little bit you can do for them. And it makes it even easier when its about supporting your local bands, one of which are just unfortunately having to deal with some BS. So last night with about seemingly a thousand things going on in Los Angeles, we strolled into the All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock for the Spencer Rollins Benefit show.
Our buddy at Rockinsider put together this show to help raise the legal fund fees for Spencer to contest(and I am certain take on and beat) some charges. And its unfortunate that we were brought together under these circumstances, but I am also thankful as you get to witness a lineup of cool, local talent such as Young Animals, Exit Music, Dorian Wood, The Cobra Lilies and Avi Buffalo all to the amazing backdrop of people bowling while the sets are going!
Young Animals performing:
On a night like last night you do realize certain things. That no matter what is going on in your personal life, its good to make a contribution in whatever way you can. You need to look beyond yourself and things just make a little more sense.
Dorian Wood Performing:
Live music in Los Angeles is very real now and really better then anything else anywhere else. There I said it. But you also realize that the power of good people armed with live music for a good cause helps all our problems fade away for the night. It connects us all.
I have linked to the Young Animals page so you can make a small contribution if it suits you. All these bands have upcoming shows and lets go out and support them under better circumstances and not only when they are under some po' po' threat. And yes, its official, my camera crapped out so sorry again for the quality of the video.
