Free Radio Gainesville Benefit at the Covered Dish - Tuesday, March 31st - Squeaky, the Crustaceans, and Cloud Nine
We have needs here at Free Radio Gainesville, like the need to get a new mixer. We currently have a borrowed mixer from a local musician (you know who you are - thanks!) but we can't borrow it forever. Because we need to raise money for the mixer and various other equipment like mic stands, microphones, renovations, we've organized a benefit at Covered Dish (210 SW 2nd Ave). Performing will be SQUEAKY, THE CRUSTACEANS and CLOUD NINE. The benefit will be Tuesday, March 31st and the doors will open at around 9pm and the show will start between 10 and 10:30pm. Please come out to support your only source for local music, radical news, experimental and international music, women's music, queer isues and lots more! Where else can you get such a variety on one station?
