Lexapalooza Lite In Aid Of Breast Cancer Campaign

• 14th Sep 2009

Famed charity fundraising event Lexapalooza presents an extra special day of live music this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Taking place on Saturday 10th October 2009 at The Flowerpot in Kentish Town, Lexapalooza Lite will host a wealth of eclectic music from acoustic to folk and from hip-hop to electro running from 12pm until 2am (with live music finishing at 11pm).

The line-up for this essential event (in alphabetical order): the angelic electro quirkiness of Anna Madeleine; upcoming singer/songwriter B-Sydes; satirical yet catchy pop from the legendary Beans On Toast; the soulful sounds of Ben Marwood; psychedelic folk/rock of Chris T-T; INME’s guitarist/ vocalist turned solo artist Dave McPherson; the delicate folk of Emily Barker; Scottish crooner Mark McCabe; the gypsy folk powerhouse Sanjuro; and acoustic Hip-Hop from one of London’s best kept secrets The Leano.

There are more acts to be announced including a very special guest to be announced on the day.
There are no advance tickets, and no guest list – just a suggested donation of £3 on the door. This is on a first come, first served basis. All previous Lexapalooza events have been a complete sell out up to 5 months in advance, and this is the smallest show we have done to date with just a 200 capacity, so get down early to ensure you don’t miss out.

Now in its fourth year Lexapalooza is starting to establish itself as a leading event celebrating all genres of music and raising money for a charity close to our heart. All proceeds from the day go to the charity, Breast Cancer Campaign. Their mission is to beat breast cancer by funding innovative world-class research and to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure. Lexapalooza has so far raised over £6000 for Breast Cancer Campaign with its previous annual one-day events, which have seen performances from the likes of Get Cape, Wear Cape Fly, The Xcerts, JimBob from Carter USM fame, Spectrum 7 and our good friend Frank Turner, along with a plethora of others fine artists.
