Slack, The Pink Spiders, Velcro Stars, Hail to the Keith, Imaginary Baseball League, Rich Creamy Paint, Luxury Liners, and Jetpack

$6.00 - To benefit the Rape & Sexual Abuse Center

"A merry slew of Nashville and Murfreesboro indie rockers unplug for this special holiday show," the Scene reports.

I, for one, will try to catch this one.

Anyone know what time it will start?

I TOTALLY AGREE!


Keith, you are destined to rock. Never forget this.

Will that be 8:00 for real, or will it still be 10?

And are they really singing holiday tunes, or is that an incorrectiture? If it is true, what holiday songs will HttK be singing?

Yeah everyone's doing holiday songs---like 2 or so. It's supposed to be really laid back, and more like everybody hanging out rather than an actual "show".
To prove how laid back this will be, it's now almost 3 o'clock and Slack still does not know what we're going to play!

What a great friggin show!! Everybody sounded great and/or were really fun, but I think The Luxury Liners featuring Erika were my personal highlight, with Jetpack Sean being a close second.

Slack even gave The Features props for their past Xmas shows that inspired last night's benefit show.

Ben Slack's keyboard solos were incredible. Good seeing you back on stage, dude!
Daigle is all we need to make the night complete

Soooo...anyone record it? I know Slack and the Pink Spiders' sets were recorded, but if anyone has an even slightly more complete recording of the event I'll be happy to trade and/or pay you. Please e-mail/PM me (jakob.dorof@gmail.com)!

Last night's show was fun. I was very impressed by the IBL guy, and Erika's fiddlin' skills were amazing! The Pink Spiders singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and the crowd's backup vocals to Slack's "Blue Christmas" were also fun.

Great job, everyone.

Thanks to a cool person who recorded the show, you can now relive the experience! Or at least the Slack one.
