October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  On
Sunday, October 23, Domestic Violence, the band, and F/X
will be presenting SAFE AND SOUND, a concert benefiting The
Support Network for Battered Women and Next Door Solutions
to Domestic Violence.  The concert will be at F/X, 400 South
First Street, San Jose, and it starts at 7 p.m.  100% of the
$5 cover charge will be donated to The Support Network for
Battered Women and Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence.

The benefit concert is to raise money for the organizations,
to raise the general public's awareness of how prevalent
this brutal crime is and to inform people who are living
in violent situations that there are organizations that can
assist them in discovering their options.

Featured bands include Domestic Violence (they've previously
played with Ronnie Montrose and Rick Derringer), comedian Howie
Nave (who has opened for Weird Al Yankovic, the Smothers
Brothers and James Taylor, just to name a few), R&B singer
Joice Walton, Rock and Reggae band Dr. Snoop and the Tribe,
and Jazz Rock band Abstract Motion.

Raising community awareness is something the band Domestic
Violence has sought to do since the band was formed five years
ago.  The band feels that the first step in finding solutions
to any problem is to talk about it, to break the silence.  That
is why they chose the name Domestic Violence--to put their name
out there and get people talking about domestic violence.
Because too many people live in violent situations, too many
children grow up in violent households, and many do not survive
the violence.  The band realizes that it will take more than
just talking about domestic violence to eradicate it, it is a
very complex problem that will not be eliminated overnight; but
they feel that talking about it and working toward solutions is
a good place to start.

Hope to see you there.  Remember, $5 to see 5 bands, and 100%
of the cover charge goes to two very worthy organizations.
