A
fundraiser for the band The Social Bandits, winners of the Detroit Blues
Society’s 2013 Youth Challenge, will be held at 8 p.m. Sunday at Classic Lanes,
2145 Avon Industrial in Rochester Hills.
All
proceeds from the event -- which includes music by The Social Bandits, The Deals (the
winners of the 2012 Detroit Blues Society Youth Challenge) and Painting Cows -- will go toward
assisting The Social Bandits with expenses when they represent the Detroit
Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge Youth Showcase in Memphis.
The International Blues Challenge begins Tuesday and runs through Jan. 25.
Members
of the band include Jesse Medawar (vocals/guitar), Jared Bentley (lead
guitar), Brad Rude (bass), and Dylan Walsh (drums).
Admission to the fundraiser is $10 at the door and includes four hours of bowling. Shoe rental will be 50 cents.
Admission is $5 for non-bowlers.
The DBS is seeking teen bands to enter the 2014
Detroit Blues Society Youth Challenge on Aug. 10 at Classic Lanes. The contest
is free to enter and the winning band will represent Detroit at the 2015 IBC.

Next
month, The Social Bandits headline an EP release party and benefit for Mittens
for Detroit. The event is slated to start at 8 p.m. on Feb. 15 at Small’s in Hamtramck.
