Don’t think the words “local rock bands” mean a group of talentless hacks who are finally free of their garage/basement.

The trio of acts performing at this charity fundraiser are probably more worthy of being showcased on radio than the typical swill you’ll find there. From the female-fronted assault of Grown Up Avenger Stuff to the edgy alt-rock style of the re-imagined Evelynn Rose to the classic rock take of The Spiveys — it’s three great bands all for a great cause. Enjoy the music and fight domestic violence all in one night. You’ll be glad you did.
