The first annual Full-Belly Food Drive will take place at Skully’s on Wednesday night with performances by Blastronauts, The Town Monster, and The Loyal Divide. To get in, simply bring three canned food items or pay $5, all of which will benefit the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. Doors open at 9:00 p.m. and attendees will receive a free compilation CD featuring two songs from each band.
“This is about great music supporting a great cause,” said Matt Grady, drummer for The Town Monster. He and his friend Zach Johnson recently founded The Promotions Inc to help promote Columbus bands. This will be their first event. “Music is something that most people can rally around, and in this case it’ll help feed those in need during the holiday season,” Matt said. He and Zach hope to collect around 1,200 cans of food.
