GOSSIP: Dunnock New Booking agent at Prolo

With Shawna now gone (but surely still recieving emails to the contrary), the word is that The Proletariat has tapped Reprogram Radio co-host Dunnock to handle their booking. Dunnock, who is more than rumored to lay his mighty hammer down onto the Trishy half of T&T Music Factory, is also half the duo Frank From Accounting, who should, frankly, play more shows. Good luck in the new role.

Def Jams: Hearing Aid Benefit @ The Prolo

Ok, so there is a lot of jokes to make here; a music benefit for the hearing impaired; a silent auction; Dizzy Pilot.The long and short of it is, though, is that a guy named Jeremy Trujilo temporarily lost his hearing due to a prank gone bad and was compelled to put something together to raise money for Houston’s Center for Hearing and Speech. Good for him.

The Sunday event, which gets started at six, features a bill with 7 bands, 2 different DJ groups, auctions for art by local artists, raffle prizes, that fajita guy and drink specials. Truth be told, I haven’t even heard of most of these bands, but T&T Music Factory never disappoint when on the decks and this is as good a chance as any to scout out any up and comers to add to your i-list.

Hearing Aid Benefit Show, featuring:
Information Tree, Down from the Clouds, Erin Dance, Dizzy Pilot, Sinews, Shina Rae, Jeff Harms plus DJs T&T Music Factory and Fuzzy Boots.

Sunday January 28^th at The Proletariat. +18. $8 or $6 w/canned good.
