Back in October 2008, I organized my first charity concert. It was at Union Hall, and a little unknown band named Motel Motel headlined, along with Intermissions, the GoStation, and Tropic of Nelson. There was never any intention to turn the charity concert into a full on series, but then it happened and felt so good to give back to the world no matter how little I had to offer, so GOOD FOR YOU’S GOOD FOR ME was born, and I continued along organizing concerts nearly every month to raise money for a variety of charities, from an orphanage in Nairobi to a girl in need of a liver transplant to an organization for the deaf.

It’s been a year now, and I’ve been lucky enough to have great performers like The Forms, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers, Your Vegas, Essie Jain, The Silent League, Frances and many others all involved.

So in celebration of a great year, I’ve organized a really special free concert event to take place on October 3rd at Bell House from noon to 6pm.

I’ve been lucky enough to bring back some of my favorite performers from the last year to play very special sets:

5:15 – BLING KONG (reunited for 1 day only)
4:30 – MOTEL MOTEL
3:45 – ARMS
3:00 – NOEL HEROUX (of Hooray for Earth) + PAUL HOLMES (of Paul & the Patients)
