Concert For The Cause<\/div>\n
An All Day Music Festival:<\/div>\n
The Rusty Needle<\/div>\n
By Lydia Lowe <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Concert For The Cause kicked off a preview to its summer season on Saturday, May 31 with a school’s out all day music festival at The Rusty Needle.  <\/span>The concert benefited the Sexual Assault\/Domestic Violence Center of Hutchinson.  <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Held under a big tent on the parking lot of The Rusty Needle, the afternoon session was a family friendly all ages show which featured: Fraktured Black, Hutchinson’s own-Earth to Matilda, Staynlis and The Brian Davis Band which rounded out the afternoon’s entertainment.  <\/span><\/div>\n

  <\/span><\/div>\n
Beginning at 2:00 p.m., Fraktured Black opened the show and half way through their set they did their version of a Kurt Cobain hit, Heart Shaped Box, which was superb.  <\/span>Earth To Matilda brought their fan base with them and played a couple of original tunes that I loved.   <\/span>Front man Conner Eaves sang the song Love is Like a Slasher Film, which he wrote with a friend of his and the band previewed a new song that the band had written together with their newest band mate entitled 127.  <\/span>Staynlis sang a couple of songs from their newest CD, which I thought were outstanding, the tracks were Alive and Pieces.  <\/span>The Brian Davis Band rounded out the afternoon session with a couple of new experimental tracks that haven’t made it to CD yet, Overcome and Imagine.  <\/span>I can’t wait until they get those tracks recorded.  <\/span>The new CD is going to be incredible.  <\/span>Each band played a 45 minute set and it was hard to believe that it was 5:00 p.m. and the afternoon’s entertainment had come to an end.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

After a 45 minute break to change out for the evening’s adult entertainment, the festival started up again with a different set of musical groups.  <\/span>The evening began with Perpetual Fist, then transitioned into Apathy Syndrome from Des Moines, Iowa; Hutchinson’s own Victims of Spotlight (VOS), Reign in Peril, and rounding out the evening was Hemlock from Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
At 6:00 p.m. the music took on an edgier turn with Perpetual Fist, who half way through their set did a cover of Bad Girlfriend and they gave it their own spin.  <\/span>Apathy Syndrome had to be one of the most unusual bands to ever play Hutchinson.  <\/span>They made a six hour drive to get to the festival and brought their fans on a bus with them.  <\/span>They had costumes and put on an unusual show for the audience.  <\/span>Check out the CFTC website for photos of the band.  <\/span>Just seeing this group alone was worth the price of admission.  <\/span>Victims of Spotlight AKA VOS) is one of my favorites and I couldn’t wait until they took the stage.  <\/span>These guys have such a stage presence and the last two shows that I’ve seen them at they’ve done their version of Twilight Zone and had the entire audience on their feet.  <\/span>Reign in Peril played their final show as a group and it was bittersweet.  <\/span>The crowd couldn’t get enough and even asked for an encore.  <\/span>Hemlock rounded out the evening and the crowd energy went up 110%.  <\/span>Everyone was on their feet and dancing to the beat.  <\/span>There is a rumor that Hemlock will be back during the state fair and will play The Rusty Needle again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
  <\/div>\n
All in all it was a great day for an outdoor festival and the live music was incredible.  <\/span>Crowd goers could be heard after the show exclaiming that this was one of the best shows that they’d been to in a long time.  <\/span>Many of these bands will be playing Concert For The Cause during the summer season, so check out the website for more information and to see photos of Saturday’s event.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
