Candidate at SOhO

On Thursday, April 28, four bands will rally around the presidential 
candidate with a Bands for Bernie fundraiser at SOhO Restaurant & 
Music Club, featuring Afishnseathemoon, Killer Kaya, Souvenirs, and 
Broken Machine. All ticket and merchandise sales will go toward 
supporting the Democratic hopeful.

Event organizer and Broken Machine frontman Schyler Douglas said he 
felt inspired to host the fundraiser because of Sanders's populist 
politics. "He stands for what I think most people want, which is a 
more equitable society," he said. "I'm not a huge fan of politics, 
but this is the first candidate who has ever really spoken to my 
basic truths, and every band that's participating feels the same way."

"He just seems like a cut-and-dry kind of guy. I agree with the way 
he wants to get the corruption out of the election process. I feel 
like the whole system is bought and paid for and he's the guy that 
can fight for it," said Afishinseathemoon's Johnny McCann.

Though the viability of Sanders securing the Democratic nomination 
has been weakened following Hillary Clinton's victory in the New York 
primaries last week, Douglas feels the fundraiser is still important 
for keeping the momentum alive. "Just because we lost New York 
doesn't mean we have to give up now. We got to keep up bringing 
awareness to what's going on in regard to voter suppression and to 
push our government to work for the people instead of the fucking 
corporations," he said.

The fundraiser comes just before Broken Machine releases its first 
album in its five-year career, which featured help from area musical 
legends such as Snot's Mikey Doling and Ugly Kid Joe's Dave Fortman. 
Hidden City Studios founder Elliott Lanam was also a huge help in 
creating the album, Douglas said.

In addition, Afishnseathemoon will release a new album this summer. 
McCann encourages Sanders supporters to come out even if they feel 
disheartened. "Besides the music, just come out to SOhO and meet some 
Bernie supporters and get everybody on the same page. Don't be 
discouraged by anything the media says or doesn't say," he said.

Bands for Bernie featuring Afishnseathemoon, Killer Kaya, Souvenirs, 
and Broken Machine will play at SOhO (1221 State St.) at 8:30 p.m.
