Starbucks' Antigone Rising performing @ Housing Works Cafe

The June 17th, 2005 benefit concert at (the very not-corporate) Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in NYC features Antigone Rising, The Redwalls and Peter Bradley Adams playing with Claire Burson. The $25 show is for charity. Buy tickets at their site.

The cover story of the Village Voice this week talks about what (the very corporate) Starbucks is doing to the music industry, specifically citing the recent success of their Antigone Rising release. “The situation with Starbucks is perfect for us because it’s going to get us into 4,400 stores, front and center, and expose our band, our music, our name to a whole group of people who have never known us.”

By the way, Aqualung is set to play the next Housing Works show on July 8th.
