INDIE SUPPORTING INDIE
january 20, 2012
For the first show of 2012 Angus and Drew performed a benefit concert to a full house at the Mamma Llama Eatery and Cafe in picturesque Weaverville, Northern California.
The venue was on the verge of closing its doors as a live venue when the boys offered to donate the door takings towards the ASCAP license due to be paid. "Mamma LLama is a wonderful venue", says Angus "and Steve and Donna wonderful people. Very supportive of live music in a town where people will still come out to see and hear something different. In times like these we need strong communities. We're all in this together and if a popular venue can stay open we all benefit. Forcing payment of these licenses when it means the loss of the ability to be a live venue seems counter productive."
After their January 7 performance, Mama Llama announced that they would be able to pay the ASCAP fee and continue to provide quality, live and local music for another year.
