Fuck Ice New Sanctuary Movement Benefit Show ft Shande/Izzy True/Was/Sarina @ Cambria House Saturday June 13th at 7pm, entry with donation of any amount to New Sanctuary Movement - Shande put out my favorite record last year... Lush instrumentation, genuinely powerful political folk adjacent stuff. They will be joined by MY ROCK BAND Izzy True (sorry for self-promotion but it's for a good cause lol), who make "harmonically dense guitar music," from NYC, as well as Philly psych-rockers Sarina. This event is organized by Fishtown Neighbors Against Ice and hopes to serve as an opportunity for people to learn more about anti-ice organizing in their neighborhoods. Tabling by No Ice Philly. Don't forget to BYO t-shirt for printing.
