Having accepted invitations to perform at Canadian Music Week in March 2007, Schvendes and The Wednesday Society are joining forces for a very special fundraising event to be held on Saturday 27th of January 2007 at Amplifier.

The costs for both bands to head overseas in order to showcase their music to some important industry figures and new international audiences is well in the tens of thousands. So the bands are calling on the punters to show their support and help bring Perth music to the world.

Local bands who’ll be lending a hand with support on the night are some of WA’s finest up and comers in Hooper’s Store, Sex Panther, and 2006 Next Big Thing winners Streetlight.

A special two CD pack featuring Schvendes’ new single Small Mercies, Sweet Graves and an exclusive new DIY tour CD from The Wednesday Society (only being sold in Australia at this gig) will be available on the night

Saturday 27th January 2007 – Amplifier bar, Perth
w/ Streetlight, Sex Panther and Hooper’s Store
Tickets available at the door
