The Wrens & Nada Surf & MORE - Benefit Show @ KF
You probably know the Wrens are playing a few shows including the Onion Holiday Party @ Bowery Ballroom and that Nada Surf is on a much bigger tour with Rogue Wave, but you might not know that both bands are also playing an all day benefit concert at Knitting Factory in NYC on Sunday January 15, 2006 (tickets) along with:
Breakup Breakdown, Hopewell, Langhorne Slim, Maplewood, Koester, Freshkills, Stalkers, Ar Duvall, Leaders, The Redcoats Are Coming!, Cordova, Goodnight Gunfight, Heads Up Display, Class, Parts and Labor, Antonius Block, The Choke, Julia Marvel, The Dead Betties, The Vibration, Violator, Estevez, Poorboy Johnson and the Goddamn Rattlesnakes
The show is an ALL DAY, ALL AGES event, with THIRTY BANDS on ALL THREE STAGES at the historic KNITTING FACTORY in New York City. The talent ranges from indie legends like the Wrens and Nada Surf, to emerging alt.country stars like Langhorne Slim, and the heaviest hitters in the New York underground and indie scene. Whether you like experimental, heavy rock, or disco, you will find something you love on one of the stages.
Other forms of entertainment throughout the day will include a kissing booth (kiss the rock star of your dreams!), a tarot card reader, a bake sale, and an all-day raffle with valuable prizes. The first thirty people through the door will get a special gift basket.
Act Local is a group of local artists and musicians coming together to benefit the Southern Arts Federation Emergency Relief Fund
Artists live in a state of economic peril, often living from paycheck to paycheck, without health insurance or a safety net. It’s estimated that artists and arts organizations throughout the Gulf region lost more than $82 million in equipment, studio space, venues, and other resources vital to make art--and to make a living.
The Relief Fund is helping artists throughout the south rebuild their lives—and we want to help them!

Hey, we just wanted to post the lineup here for anyone who is wondering who goes on when. A couple of other things:
• Come early! It will sell out (a lot of tickets have sold already), and there are special door prizes and raffles for the early birds.
• If you are in Williamsburg or Greenpoint and want to buy a ticket without going through the TicketWeb thing, email mikki@stim.com or actlocal15@gmail.com--we have some for sale.
