banging heads for the animals

If you're around St. Catharines, Ontario, Thursday night I've already got your evening planned out for you: checking out some heavy live music and supporting animal protection all in one shot.

Here are the important details:

"Radio Action for Animals" Benefit Concert: MDM, OverfienD, Journey to Aspen, Randi Townsend & Running Scared

Thursday, March 26th
L3 NightClub, James Street, St. Catharines
Doors open at 7:00 pm
All ages
Door prizes / Sample free vegan food

Tickets are $8 adv. at the NAfA Office (682-4970) or $10 at the door.

I've seen MDM before - solid Canadian industrial worth the $10 just on their own. The others I can't vouch for but they sound like they're worth checking out. I've heard of OverfienD, and according to their myspace page they're "Metal / Metal / Metal".

The night isn't all about the noise - Journey to Aspen are of the "Indie /Pop / Rock" persuasion, for instance. The others I don't know anything about, but hell, it might be worth showing up just for the vegan goodies.

The show's a benefit concert for Niagara Action for Animals, hosted by the Brock Animal Rights Club.
