The Bellrays - Pay The Cobra - LIVE 2007 Hollywood

This performance is from The F.O.R. Benefit (Friends Of Richie) took place at Safari Sam's in Hollywood, on Saturday March 31st 2007.

Richie Hass is an amazing multi-instrumentalist musician. Alumnus of Zoogz Rift's band, he is best known these days for playing in Saccharine
Trust and also with Joe Baiza's Universal Congress - probably the top vibraphonist in Southern California.

Richie was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, and since he is a self employed musician, he has no health insurance.

The LA music community was rocked back on their heels by this news. Everybody loves Richie. So a group of musicians, together with the IMF, put together this benefit in Richie's honor. And while the benefit was held in Richie's honor, he has opted to donate the proceeds to the International Myeloma Foundation for much-needed research to find the cure for this disease.

@satinhooks i know is 3 years late but most punk bands try to reproduce the intensity of 50s and 60s music. The only thing is that most punk vocalists are not really singers. As a punk i wish i could screan like james brown, i just lack the skill. on the other hand, its beautiful to see a black womas who not olnly digs punk music but is willing to play in a band.

Tony Fate!

great band. soul/ rock. well, most new rock bands certainly could use someone who can really sing. and i think this is why this works so well. people are tired of hearing the same limited singer thing. If some of these new rock singers at least try to develop their personal styles... alas

where's the dirtbombs or foo fighters with cee lo? soul rock!

[TheOriginalLHM]
