Who/what is the benefit for? Sydney indie bands are coming together to raise money for Youth Off The Streets - young people needing help.
Why do they need help? Over 44,000 people under 25 are homeless in Australia. Violence, abuse, mental illness, drugs and alcohol all contribute. Youth Off The Streets supports young people by providing safety, helping recovery, education and job opportunities.
What's the current situation like? "I feel spiders on my face," "I didn't feel any pain when my hand went through the window" — these are some of the experiences that Youth Off The Streets hear from people desperately needing help.
Who else is helping on the night? Soundworks music, Westpac and The Vanguard in Newtown are getting together with Sydney acts Becky Brown, Kim Killspeed and AMRAP chart toppers Little Fox. All proceeds from tix sales go to Youth Off The Streets.
When and where can we help out? The Vanguard, Friday 4 Mar. $20 on The Vanguard website or $25 on the door (plus booking fee).
