SEAL OF APPROVAL: (DC) FUNKIN 4 HAITI BENEFIT – 1/24/10 – MODERN

19 Jan


Funk not only moves, it can re-move, dig?” – Parliament – Funkadelic, “P Funk Wants to Get Funked Up”

We’re about to see just how far that statement extends, and just how successful it can be.

Three million people have been affected by the terribly dire situation following last weeks terrible earthquake in Haiti. Nationwide, there have been efforts made to help the ailing residents of the island nation. However, there may be no funkier effort, no more electrifying effort, no more bass heavy and dance floor friendly effort than the lineup presented at Washington, DC’s Modern nightclub in Georgetown this coming Sunday night.

A plethora of TGRIOnline.com and local favorites are aligning as one with the goal of raising thousands of dollars to benefit those devastated by this terrible natural disaster. The Fort Knox Five, Nadastrom, Will Eastman, Stylus Chris and Joe Nice, and all they’re asking for is a $10 donation at the door? For Haiti? Not a bad trade, and, yes, even if you do, as most in DC hate to admit, *swear* by being on a guestlist and not paying, this is a drop in the bucket and worth it on a talent, cause and event level.

This will be one of the most amazing and important events of the DC music year. Do support!
