mmmellowdrone.blogspot.com: MELLOWDRONE TO PERFORM VALENTINE’S DAY SHOW AT SPACELAND, LOS ANGELES. CANNED FOOD DRIVE FOR THE LOS ANGELES REGIONAL FOOD BANK.

When Jennifer Tefft of Spaceland Productions approached Mellowdrone to return to perform at Spaceland, they immediately had something special in mind: A Valentine’s Day show that takes away from the consumer-centered “holiday” and gives back to their home town of Los Angeles; A sort of Valentine’s Day gift to the city itself, and every song a love note to the city from its not-so-secret admirers in the band.

The L.A. Regional Food Bank website’s front-page states, “One out of every ten people in Los Angeles County is at risk of hunger.” The Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is a private, nonprofit, charitable organization that has been serving the disadvantaged of our community for 33 years. They are at the heart of a charitable food distribution network that includes over 1,000 charities in Los Angeles County.

Though Valentine’s Day (or humorously, “Singles Awareness Day” or “SAD”) has increasingly become a holiday that exists primarily for commercial purposes, concert goers are encouraged to turn the purpose around to help others in the community: A discounted ticket price is offered at the door when someone brings a can of food to Spaceland to donate. The hope here is to help people become aware of this and other local charities; That every day things they can do to assist do help – even when there is not an immediate crisis involved; And of course, to feel good about having a good time!

More information on the food bank will also be available at the show.
