Rock for Uganda 2 by Patrick H. and Ethan M.

Over $700 was raised at the beneficial concert, Rock for Uganda 2.

The money was raised for the Invisible Children movement, a group whose mission is to bring attention to and change the quality of life of war-affected children in northern Uganda. They have been terrorized by the LRA, a dangerous rebellion group opposing Uganda government, since the late 80’s.

Four local bands played at the event located at Holly Hall: Nate L’heureux, Burritos for Breakfast, Rush Angel, and Busted Brix.

There was an incredible amount of crowd involvement, especially when Rush Angel played “Kids in America”, originally sung by Kim Wilde, an English pop singer, and covered by several other bands, from the Jonas Brothers to Lens in Digimon: The Movie.

All bands agreed that each band had a good set, and Erin Castles-Brown of Burritos for Breakfast explained in a short interview that they “played the best set they have ever played.”

Rush Angel played three new originals: “F*** Alarm Clocks,” “Girls with Boyfriends S**k,” and “Confusion.”

A Bristol resident complained about the noise level in the later hours.

There were several food and drink items that added to the lump of cash the bands graciously handed over to Invisible Children.
