Message From Lazlo




Happy New Year everyone!

I hope everyone has a healthy, happy and prosperous 2005.

I know most of us are already having a better 2005 then people in Asia dealing with the aftermath of the tsunami. If you can donate money to help, please do so (click here to go to Action Against Hunger). The gift of helping those who have lost everything is a far greater gift than any other holiday season present.

I am hoping to be able to do some things with BlowUpRadio.com to help raise money for Tsunami relief. As they develop I will let you know.


So now that I brought everyone down a bit, let talk about happier news...

Thanks to everyone who came out to ring in the new year with BlowUpRadio.com at Krogh's. Souls' Release was absolutely incendiary, playing 3 sets of their tunes and a few unique covers. A fun time was had by all.

If you had previous plans and missed seeing Souls' Release ring in the new year, or you are a die hard fan who wants to see their electrifying show again, BlowUpRadio.com and WRSU present Souls' Release along with Butterspy and Echofission, on Friday January 14th at the Loop Lounge. This is sure to be a fun night and may even include a rant by WRSU's Jared Migden.

And a week later don't forget to check out BlowUpRadio.com co-sponsoring a show at the Court Tavern with Upstage Magazine.

Why all the co-sponsorships? Because we are all working on a common goal of trying to help support the local music scene. Band together, make change.

Peace,
Lazlo
