You know what Santa digs? Rock and Roll played by Girls!!!
So what better way to get on his good side than to help Girls Rock Camp Houston’s 2011 program.
Saturday December 18th at Rudyard’s we will have the crushing and unrelenting might of Omotai, the action packed all-star team of the Anarchitex (with members of The Pain Teens, Really Red, Happy Fingers Institute, etc etc. etc.) and The Linus Pauling Quartet playing selections from the upcoming 2011 double LP Bag of Hammers largely because we forget how to play the old stuff after a while.
There will be no cover but we will be taking donations all night. We suggest somethign like $7 -$10 but you can give more.
Your monetary contribution will help fund musical equipment needs (such as instruments, amps, PAs, guitar strings, ear plugs, etc.), materials and supplies for non-musical workshops, and scholarships for families who cannot afford to pay the full tuition to attend the camp.
Happy Holidays.

“At Rock ´n´ Roll Camp, girls ranging in age from eight to 18 are taught that it´s OK to sweat like a pig, scream like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter abandon, and that ´it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are.´ The girls have a week to select a band, an instrument they may have never played before, and write a song. In between, they are taught various lessons of empowerment from self-defense to anger management. At the end of the week, all the bands perform a concert for over 700 people. The film follows several campers and what happens to the girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being pressured to conform is truly moving and revolutionary.” —www.girlsrockmovie.com
This film is part of the Target Free First Sundays: Family Flicks film series.
