Street Soccer Fundraiser and A Radio Gig

Posted on April 16, 2010 by darryl

Alexis and Cory

On Thursday evening the band played for the Homeless Soccer fundraising event held at the Rickshaw.

The PFC (Portland Football Club) Homeless Soccer Team hopes to raise enough money to take the team to South America for the Homeless Soccer World Championships.

Roisin and John Cl.

The evening wasn’t without surprises. On a whim Marc invited the band to come down the street to CFRO, 102.7, Co-op Radio to play a couple of tunes on air.

Fred, Eddie, Roisin and Fearless Leader (Tim)

When the dust settled the band had played four tunes on Marc’s show, and Fred, Eddie, Marc, Roisin, Wayne, Tim and Ross squeezed into the studio to jaw with Marc for 10 minutes or so.
