Drone Not Drones: A Solemn Procession
Saturday, February 8th @ 2pm @ Cedar and Riverside, Minneapolis

Beginning at 7:00pm on Friday, February 7,
the Duluth-based trio, Low, will be performing a 28 hour 'Drone Not Drones' marathon at the Cedar Cultural Center.

The concert is a benefit for victims of war and proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders.

Please join us in the street for a demonstration of solidarity with the band on Saturday afternoon.

The Veterans For Peace office at 1806 Riverside will be open at 1pm on Saturday to stage the event.

Hot drinks and snacks will be served and everyone is welcome.

We'll set out promptly at 2pm for our solemn march down Cedar Avenue and back. This event is co-sponsored by Veterans For Peace (VFP), Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), and the Anti-War Committee (AWC).

1. the concert is excellent. I'm going back tomorrow

this was much bigger event than i thought. it was in St Paul's Pioneer Press. If I knew earlier more about the event, i think I would have brought a blanket to stay the night.

$10 advance / $20 day of show
6pm: doors; 7pm: drone

Hear musicians from across genres and across the state come together to create an uninterrupted 28-hour drone to raise money and awareness for the innocent victims of The War on Terror. To stand against the immoral and illegal drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.

After Friday night "prime time" featuring Low, spend the night with us. Bring a pillow or blanket to get comfortable. Come before work, come after work, come and go as you please.

Check dronenotdrones.com leading up to the concert for more information on who is playing when, meal info, and a livestream of the concert itself. 6pm: doors; 7pm: drone.

Wikipedia says "Drone music is a minimalist musical style that emphasizes the use of sustained or repeated sounds, notes, or tone-clusters – called drones. It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics."

We don't have the right words to stop "targeted killings" or "collateral damages" or "illegal assassinations." All we can do is drone on and on about it: DRONE NOT DRONES
