(RE)Sonance @ The Earth House - A Fundraising Event For Indy's Most Treasured All Ages Venue

This Saturday, May 1, The Earth House will host (RE)SONANCE; a fund-raising event that will benefit the venue's need for new sound system.  The Earth House Collective is a not-for-profit organization operated by local artists, musicians and volunteers.  The facility has the potential to become Indianapolis most treasured all ages venue.  We demonstrated the possibilities with the OK Go show last Wednesday.  If we can get a new sound system installed, this will instantly become a touring stop for national artists and will allow us to further our quest for more all ages shows in Indianapolis.  Plus the folks that run the Earth House are GOOD people, working hard for the love of music and community.  They are still seeking items for their silent auction.  If you have anything (or know someone who might) that you would like to donate to the silent auction, please email us at mokbpresents.com.  Details below. RSVP for the Facebook Event, while your there invite all your freinds!  This is important Indy, lets make it happen!

Times: 2pm-11PM
Silent Auction from 2pm-5pm - There are some great items included in the silent auction already such as a PBR fridge, Luna and Indy CD & Vinyl Gift Certificates, Tickets to Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Eiteljorg Museum, The Vogue concerts, MOKB concerts, Silk-Screened Posters from Mile 44, Recording Studio Sessions, DJ Services and more!
