[photo by Chris Gersbeck - courtesy of brooklynvegan ] We've followed Mission of Burma , version 2.0, for almost twice as long as the original run of the band in the early 80s. The most consistent element of their live show has always been the ferocity of the performance. The band plays live with the kind of kinetic energy that defines their sound, and provides earth shattering volume to prove the point. The other aspect MOB's live show is that the setlists are always quite divergent. The Bell House [...]

The Project Matters Benefit w/ Charles Bissell + music by Green Arrows BENEFIT SHOW: From what I can gather the Project Matters Organization will help fund and give good advise to young musicians under 21 who aspire to play music.
