San Francisco, CA -- If you are a fan of San Francisco based bands
gone big, like New Monsoon and ALO, and you support environmental
justice, you won't want to miss the "Rock the Planet" benefit concert
for Greenaction on April 12th at Ashkenaz in Berkeley.

Headlining the benefit for Greenaction will be the Nu Snowmen,
featuring members of New Monsoon. New Monsoon has been rocking the
national music landscape for several years, selling out venues like
the Fillmore, and getting great reviews at music festivals, like
Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, across the country. If you like New
Monsoon's music, we guarantee you will want to put on your dancing
shoes and come to the Greenaction benefit.

Special guest Dan "Lebo" Lebowitz, guitarist for KFOG favorite and San
Francisco gem, ALO, will perform a duo set with Bo Carper of New
Monsoon. This pairing first debuted on the world's largest floating
music festival, Jamcruise, this past January.

Opening the show with a solo set will be David Gans, musician and DJ
on KPFA radio's Dead to the World. Also appearing are The Jolly
Gibsons, performing their sizzling blend of New Orleans funk and
jazz/rock jams.

Rock the Planet is a benefit concert for Greenaction for Health and
Environmental Justice. Greenaction is a Bay Area based non-profit
