Restoration Rock’d!
By The Changeling | September 18, 2007
Shrine for the Black Madonna
Alexa 11221 and I went to the Restoration Rocks Festival this past Saturday, and I have to say that it was AMAZING! All of the bands were great, but Alex 11221 really enjoyed a group named Sankofa and I was blown away by the band Game Rebellion.
To get a taste of Game Rebellion, take a look at this clip of their performance at the festival:
According to their myspace page, Game Rebellion will be playing at Brooklyn Southpaw (125 Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, New York) on Sunday, October, 7th. The cost is $15 advance/$20 at the door. Go. Check them out. Now.

Yes, I really liked Sankofa, and if anyone knows Darin the singer, tell him to send us a picture of himself wearing the blue “LIVE in Bed Stuy!” t-shirt.
Also, I loved Shrine for the Black Madonna’s “Chester Himes” and guitarist Jared is awesome. Check them out on myspace. See them and Sankofa and Game Rebellion if you can!
We arrived too late to see the earlier bands, so if you were there, please let us know what you thought. I’m sure they were great too. Show some love.
If anyone wants to send us more info on local bands, here’s my address:

That is all.
