Playing the show will be Bastille, Skin, Standard Deviation, Skulltoboggan and a reuniting Rawhead Rex. We (Rawhead) have been getting together and playing for the last few months.

SEEMLESS HELPS A FRIEND IN NEED

From Derek Kerswill of Seemless:

Hello Everyone!

Well, sometimes things in life really throw you for a loop. I felt the need to share this story with all of you, and, more importantly.....do SOMETHING to try and help a friend.

On Thursday night, I bumped into a great friend of mine Ron. I hadn't talked to him in quite sometime. I asked him about a mutual friend of ours, Jason Hendershaw - not just some guy I "kinda know", but a really good friend that I've seen go through some extreme highs and lows in the past ten years or so. Two years ago, his girlfriend Jen was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. As of two months ago - I had heard things were going well and I looked forward to eventually getting in touch, and getting together with them to catch up, but, like so many of us - time is limited and we all have our lives and things tend to spin out of control on occasion, and, you blink and another day is gone.
