Spring Fling Updates: DJ, Drinks, Charity

We have some pretty awesome updates about this Saturday's show at The Delancey in NYC.

First off, DJ/Singer/Photographer/Awesome person Brad Walsh has volunteered his cut-throat dj services for the night. Brad will be spinning until 11ish when he will be replaced by a couple of drunk sluts.

Second, drinks. From 8-9pm well drinks are 2-4-1, yum. From Midnight until the last band ends, PBRs are $3 and after the last band, drinks are going back on sale at buy one get one free. Awesome. I strictly drink whiskey sours when I host, just to let you know.

Lastly, Matt and I will be donating a portion of our profits for the night to City Harvest, a great organisation here in New York, so come out and show your support!:
City Harvest aims to both feed the hungry and curb waste. The organization retrieves excess food from all over the New York City and delivers it to community food programs throughout the five boroughs. You can volunteer to help pick-up and deliver food. www.cityharvest.org
Phone: (917) 351-8700

Also, if anybody out there works for a pizza place in New York, we would love to talk to you: themusicslut@gmail.com

Rilo Kiley, Devendra & Clap Your Hands Design Charity T-Shirts!

View the t-shirts here!!!

More on the organization below....

Yellow Bird Project is a Montreal-based, non-profit initiative. We collaborate with musicians in designing a T-shirt, we print and sell them on our website, and all of the money we make goes to charity. Which charity? Each of the artists gets to choose their own. We have three fundamental aims:

1) To make money for charities directly through T-shirt sales.
2) To raise awareness for charity organizations through artists’ endorsement.
3) To raise the profile of the artists we like.

We have specifically approached individuals that we think are creative and conscientious enough to make a difference.
