Event Title: MS Pedal to the Point 2008 – ‘Super Rock & Roll Benefit Fun-Show’ When: Thursday, August 7th @ 8PM Where: Jigsaw Saloon & Stage – 5324 State Rd, Parma, Ohio Cost: $7.00 Performers: Four of Cleveland’s best up & coming local Rock & Roll bands: · Mechanics of Things http://www.mechanicsofthings.com · Gunfire! Getdown! http://www.gunfiregetdown.com · Know Kontrol http://www.myspace.com/knowkontrolohio · Muttley http://www.myspace.com/muttleyloveswinnie Why: Several members of the band, Gunfire Getdown and their friends have formed the Shark Sandwich bicycle team for the MS Bike Tour. The team - which also includes members of the Nick Wolff Band, & former local rockers Welcome to Bangkok and Crash of ‘59 - take their name from the classic comedy/rockumentary, “This Is Spinal Tap.” Not with out a sense of musical and comedic-irony, the team has stated that, “Riding 150 miles is nowhere near as difficult as confronting a lifetime with multiple sclerosis”, which they do not take jokingly. The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to diminish, nor will it stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America, including the more than 15,000 Ohioans. All proceeds from the show will benefit the National MS Society on behalf of the Shark Sandwich team for their goal of raising $1,000+ in the fight against MS.
