First, it benefits Orlando Food Not Bombs, the local activist group that protests war and poverty by serving surplus-sourced food to those in need.
Secondly, and more personally, this show is a celebration and memorial of Orlando punk activist and musician Eric Montanez, who tragically passed away one year ago.
The native roundup features trad punks The Palmeranians, dark beat maestro Kurt Rambus, metal speed demons Gnarcoosee, folk punks X Dirty Fingers, garage synth band Hellcat Tendencies and Oi! punks Metropolitan Menace.
In addition to cash, the donations-based event will accept staples like canned goods, spices, vegetable oil and bottled water. Come to rock and rally for Eric, the cause and the community.
(6 p.m. Saturday, July 22, Uncle Lou’s, donation-based)
