Locals coming together for Internet radio

With the July 15 deadline looming around the corner, friends of Internet radio are throwing a benefit to "Save Net Radio" at the Bottom of the Hill on July 1. It's sort of like a hippie locking himself to a tree. Our friends at Sonicliving and MyOpenBar are willing to lay down in front of the bull dozers. We'll be right next to them.

In case you've been living on the Atlantis Space Shuttle, royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. That's pretty fucked up, right?

The benefit is hosted by Elise from Soma FM & Ted from Bagel Radio and features live music from members of The Heavenly States, The Herms, HIJK, Peloton, and surprise guests!
