Congratulations are in order to Crystal Antlers - who recently signed to Touch and Go Records!!
The band will be playing the Fuck Yeah Fest Benefit TONIGHT at 6th Street Warehouse with Slang Chickens, Tweak Bird, Brother Reade, and Totally Michael.
You may have heard about the absolutely awesome F Yeah Tour which hit 27 cities and featured bands like Monotonix, Matt & Kim, Team Robespierre, and The Death Set. They did the entire tour summer camp style in a white school bus powered by vegetable oil. The New York Times even featured it (read the article here).
Needless to say some additional expenses were incurred and the guys now find themselves heavily in debt for bringing great music to the masses. Read a message from Sean Carlson below.

------- F YEAH FEST BENEFIT TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE 6th STREET WAREHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN LA.
I apologize about the mass email and even more so if you receive this and you live 40,000 miles from Los Angeles. I rarely send these out and when I do I make sure that they are important. And obviously this is pretty important so if you have minute please read the info below. Tomorrow night, August 12th a benefit will be taking place at the 6th St. Warehouse in LA with Crystal Antlers, Brother Reade, Tweak Bird, Totally Michael & Slang Chickens. The benefit is to help raise money so we can continue to do events like the F Yeah Fest, the LA Scavenger Hunt & shows through out the year. Here is an explanation. This year the F Yeah Fest took a huge hit. The original financial backer pulled out days before we had planned to announce the line up, leaving the fest in a very bad position. We had to choose between canceling it entirely or scaling it down and risking going into an incredible amount of debt. We chose to go ahead and take the financial hit in order to keep what we have worked to build for the past five years alive. We didn't realize how bad it would be. Now we are well over $15k in debt. We do not have a financial backer to pull us out of this and it is impossible to get a loan when you are 23 years old and the only thing you own is a car worth about $400 (I'm referring to myself here). The show tomorrow show is to raise a few dollars so we can continue to do events. If you can't make it to the show but would like to make a donation please use the paypal link below. 100% of your contribution will go towards keeping these events alive and will allow us to continue to grow. Anything you can donate will help us tremendously. Thank you again for the years of support. We plan on doing this forever, even if it means we have to continue to live at home with our parents cause we can't afford rent.
