Banding Together
Banding Together is an annual battle of the bands fundraising event pitting members of D.C.’s legal community in competition to inspire the audience to donate to their favorite act. The money raised by Banding Together filters directly to goods and services for D.C.’s homeless community. The music goes from 7 to about midnight when the winner is crowned.
Meet Our Bands: Attractive Nuisance (Steptoe & Johnson LLP)
Steptoe & Johnson LLP’s band, Attractive Nuisance, is a wall of sound that was brought together with two goals in mind: (1) rocking out and (2) raising money for the non-profit organization Gifts for the Homeless.
Make sure to check out the band’s Banding Together ’14 Advance Voting Page! By “voting” for your chosen band with a donation to Gifts for the Homeless, you are both advancing the band’s quest to become D.C.’s Top Law Firm Band, but also funding the purchase of essential clothing and winter items for distribution through the shelter system in Metropolitan Washington, DC.
And, check out this cool video of the band performing live on a DC rooftop in preparation of 2013’s Banding Together charity benefit concert!
Meet Our Bands: Kung Fu Gift Shop (O’Melveny & Myers LLP)
Welcome back Kung Fu Gift Shop (O’Melveny & Myers’s entry) to Banding Together 2014! It is a self-described indie rockin’, guitar oriented, pseudo hippy jam band — see yourself over here when they played at last summer’s Banding Together.
By “voting” for Kung Fu Gift Shop with a donation to Gifts for the Homeless, you are funding the purchase of essential clothing and winter items for distribution through the shelter system in Metropolitan Washington. At the same time, you’ll be helping the band’s quest to be the Banding Together fundraising champion. Every dollar pushes us up in the standings, so give early and give often!
Gifts for the Homeless and Kung Fu Gift Shop thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and hope to see you in person on June 26 at The Black Cat for a set of the guitar-driven, all original rock you’ve come to know and love from the band, with a few surprises that you won’t want to miss. Believe us, if you’re not there, you’ll forever wish you had ventured down to 14th Street to see the show.
Andy, Chris, Mike, Eric and Steve are counting on you to make this the gig of the summer!
And, as an extra special treat, make sure to like Kung Fu Gift Shop on Facebook and follow them on twitter to see how they are getting ready for the big event on Thursday, June 26th!
