Nov: 21 Roots and Shoots Charity Show

By Morgan Short, Oct 26th, 2009 | In Nightlife

One more live music-related post: One of Shanghai's most lovliest charities Roots and Shoots is planning a benefit concert for November 21 at Yuyintang. If you've been around Shanghai a little while, you'll remember that Roots and Shoots usually does this once a year to raise money for their "Million Tree Project" -- an initiative to combat the desertification of Inner Mongolia.

So this year's concert features a marathon of locally-based Indie Rock acts and such. Here's who is taking part: Booji, Duck Fight Goose, Resist Resist, Varde, Boys Climbing Ropes, Triple Smash, and The Youth and Destroyer. Line-up subject to changes and additions.

Cover is 50rmb, and that buys you two trees, which someone else will plant for you in Inner Mongolia. You can also buy more trees if you feel like it. Again, someone else is doing the planting.

If you want a trip down memory lane, click here to read an old article about the charity concert in 2007, written by some snot-nosed faux jounaliste.
