Xiu Xiu play second landmine removal benefit 27 July 2001
Tomorrow night’s show at the Café Du Nord will be, according to Xiu Xiu’s Cory McCulloch, the first performance of Xiu Xiu as a Black Sabbath tribute band under the name Every Day Is Like Sabbath. Could it be true? You’ll have to go see for yourself. And if you can’t get to SF on Saturday you can listen to the new Xiu Xiu over the Web next Wednesday night (1 August) when they play live on Stanford University student station KZSU-FM. The Xiu Xiu/Black Sabbath show starts around 9 pm PDT (5 am Thursday BST). Also playing Saturday at Café Du Nord will be Deerhoof, Hella, Bevin Bectum and Dani DeGruttola, Total Shutdown, Tiny Bird Mouth (formerly Owls), and Paper Cuts. Back to the reason for the benefit: founded in 1991, MAG teaches people how to clear landmines and bombs from populated areas throughout the world, focusing on the Laos-Vietnam border region. They estimate that active landmines are planted in 70 countries today. In 1997, as a member organization of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), they received the Nobel Peace Prize along with ICBL director Jody Williams. Tens of thousands of civillians, a disproportionate number of them children, are mutilated or killed each year worldwide by landmines. | US State Dept info on landmines | | Mines Advisory Group | | ICBL | | KZSU-FM | | Ibopa (previous incarnation of Xiu Xiu) | | top of page | |
