Permanent Wave Presents: Quitzow, PS XO, Wojcik, Faith Reason, Brooklyn 4/28

I'm pleased to announce Permanent Wave's next Sound Wave performance series on April 28 at the all-ages D.I.Y. venue Shea Stadium in Brooklyn, benefiting the Center for Reproductive Rights. Details below. We want to bring together people from different areas of the New York D.I.Y. scene for a fun, informative, and lively night--even in New Jersey---that's where I'm coming from. So if you can please come out. Our first event in Brooklyn raised over $500 for the Center Against Domestic Violence--let's try to double that. Check out this simply hot track from our headliner, QUITZOW that the Owl Mag posted right here. See you soon!
