BANDS FOR DEBT RELIEF TO PERFORM AT NEW YORK’S KNITTING FACTORY ON MAY 26TH 'one of my hopes is that people will come to realize that vegetarianism represents a more efficient use of food resources and might thus alleviate world hunger. for example, 1 pound of grain can make 1 pound of bread. while 240 pounds of grain are needed to make 1 pound of beef.' > -moby http://www.vortex4u.com/bandsfordebtrelief/ Five Indie Bands and Australian MTV VJ to Boost Bono’s Global Debt Relief Effort NEW YORK, NY, May 3 -- Five indie bands will perform at the Knitting Factory (74 Leonard St.) on May 26th in New York’s first concert for global debt relief. Performers will include Brighton, Harvest of Souls, Truth, Vortex and a very special guest to be named at a later date. MTV Australia’s VJ personality Shorty Brown will MC the concert. Show time is 7 PM, tickets are $15 in advance from TicketWeb.com and $20 at the door. This concert will promote awareness of global debt relief and gather signatures for online petition campaigns. Debt relief is a crucial issue for eliminating AIDS and poverty in the developing world. Today, more than 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa, nearly half the population, live on less than $1 a day, according to the World Bank. This number is expected to grow to 345 million by 2015. Yet this same region must spend $14.5 billion dollars each year to repay loan debts from the world’s richest countries, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund*. (*Source: data.org, World Bank, International Monetary Fund) The event kicks off plans to build a nationwide campaign by BANDS FOR DEBT RELIEF that will use concerts, the Internet, and other grass-roots programs to collect signatures for online petition campaigns hosted on the Web site of data.org. We extend this invitation to the general public and the media to attend the May 26th event, to be held at the main stage of the Knitting Factory, NYC.
