    Fundraising Update: RAW POWER KEXP
    Posted by Kurt Reighley on Aug 24, 2015 in Fundraising Update, News

    Thank you to everyone who joined us for yesterday’s RAW POWER KEXP blowout at Pike Place Market. Wow, what a turnount! More than 8,800 music lovers filled the streets to hear Mike McCready, Duff McKagan, Barrett Martin and Mark Arm tear through a killer set of seven classic songs by the Stooges.

    Although the rooftop concert was free, several fundraisers were held around the show, including a VIP pre-show dinner and an afterparty (both at Matt’s in the Market). All told, these activities have already raised $260,000 to help build KEXP’s New Home.

    AWESOME!!!

    The media also responded enthusiastically to the once-in-a-lifetime show, with reviews from Rolling Stone, Stereogum, SPIN, and Consequence of Sound.

    We’ll have more photos, press, and video from the event to share soon, but in the meantime, you can peek behind the scenes at band rehearsal.

    I can't see RKCNDY. Can anyone spot her in the crowd?

    I'm behind the girl with the puffy blonde hair at the rail.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I asked KEXP on the Twitter machine if they were planning on releasing the show since it would be a great way to raise additional funds. They only said their video team is working on footage to share soon. Might only get some of those you tube videos that KEXP always puts out.

    Cool. YouTube is great & all. It would be sweet IMO if they did something where they would officially release it on a physical product (CD, vinyl, DVD, Blu-ray etc..) so they could raise some good mula for the KEXP. :)

    I agree completely. I'd absolutely buy a cd of that performance, but well see. Fingers crossed.
