Rock Against Racism Australia has joined forces with Turbo Nun Entertainment Group for this concert-for-a-cause on January 31. Heading up the bill are Dog Trumpet, comprising brothers (and Mental as Anything alumni) Reg Mombassa and Peter O'Doherty, along with two-thirds of veteran pub rock band the Johnnys. Other acts include nine-piece R&B act the Fever Pitch, surf rockers Los Monaros, punk band Operation Ibis, Tex-Mex rockers the Mezcaltones, rock 'n' roll band Smitty and B. Goode, and garage-punk group the Escapes.
Tickets are just $20 and all the proceeds from the night will be split between three worthy causes: WIRES, the families of NSW firefighters who lost their lives battling the blazes, and the Mogo Local Aboriginal Land Council whose community has been devastated by the South Coast fires.
