Hey all!  I just saw this posted as a bulletin on my Myspace! 

Alex Band, formerly of The Calling is holding the second annual Donate Life Rocks Concert on Oct 26th at the Hard Rock at Universal City, Hollywood!

Alex was still with The Calling when he learned and informed the public that a close family member would need a liver transplant.  He found a new passion in spreading the word on the importance of Organ Donation and soon starting promoting it on his websites and at his concerts.

Others performing that night will be...
Keaton Simons
the newly reunited Eve 6
American Idol's Constantine Maroulis (this is actually an old friend of mine and I am SO proud)
Shane Hines and the Trance
Metal Knights with special performance by Pamela Moore
Hearing Red, lead singer, actor, Erik Palladino
Beau Black
Johnny Bullet

I wish so much I could be there to see this and support the cause!  Hope to hear that some Californians on the forum can make it there!!

here is the link to the Donate Life Rocks 2007 Myspace page...

Goofynina, AlohaBeth can tell you some good stories about Constantine.  We voted alot during that American Idol. He can be very funny.

Yay! Jenna and I have tickets to go Friday night. The organizer Denise asked if we would be willing to be interviewed by TV - eeek!!  Anyway, it looks like fun and they hope to get a lot of media coverage. Hopefully I will get some good photos!

That's great!

Although, I feel so old and out of touch--I haven't heard of a single one of those artists except for Eve 6!

Constantine sure looks (his face, his hair and the way he dresses) like the late Michel Hutchence, of INXS.
