Ghost Planet is a local DIY space for music. This past weekend they hosted a “band lotto” in which people were selected at random to be in a band together and perform for 15 minutes each. All participants put their names in music instruments and then they were drawn one by one to create this line up:
- Ketchup ‘N The Fry
- Hidden Gravity
- Buckets
- Basic
- Fruit Knife
- Jan Michael & The Vincents
- Phantom Limb
Donations were taken at the door to raise money for The Up Center Of Champaign County, a multi-service agency, for youth and adults, that supports and promotes human care, educational, and community-building activities directed at furthering the well-being and development of the LGBTQ community. The event raised over $300 for the Up Center.
Check out some of the photos from the show and always, support the Up Center.
