Boochawan Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) For Immediate Release: ROCK BAND DRUMS UP SUPPORT FOR TORONTO’S HUNGRY TORONTO, ON - After an extremely successful food-drive last fall attended by over 200 guests and raising more than 700lbs of food for the Daily Bread Food Bank, The Toronto-based groove rock band Vanderpark is at it again. The band’s goal is to increase awareness about hunger issues in Toronto and help generate food for food banks around the city. Media is invited to the appropriately-titled benefit, Funk for Food, which will be happening on Thursday, November 24th, 2005 at Clinton’s Tavern (693 Bloor Street West) in Toronto at 8:30pm. For others, admission to the event is free with the donation of a non-perishable food item. “We are a band that is concerned with social issues and the welfare of others.†- Vanderpark percussionist, Dan “Booch†Buchman Other acts participating in Funk for Food are The Midway State, Trish and the Tangents, Melissa Bathory and a comedy troupe called Morbio. Vanderpark is a heady brew of rock, funk, and pop that’s hard to deny. Recent high profile tours and opening slots have solidified Vanderpark’s place as one of Canada’s hottest up-and-coming rock acts. The band has recently released their debut album, All Your Hands, and is available nationwide in music stores and online distributors such as iTunes and Puretracks. Proceeds from album sales at Funk for Food will be donated to the Food Bank Meal Exchange who support the Daily Bread and educate students on what they can do to help the hungry in Toronto. Many noteworthy sponsors such as !ndigo Books, Long and McQuade Musical Instruments, Sugar Mountain, Sonic Temple, Mill St. Beer and Meal Exchange (http://www.mealexchange.com) have signed on for support.
