The Postscript Talk About Tonight’s Toys For Tots Benefit At Rock Lobster
By Andrew Duncan • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Categories, IndianapolisI could tell you all about what a great benefit this show is to help an organization that gives the gift of not just toys but happiness to many kids out there who need the smile of a toy.
I could also tell you that the show is tonight and you should make your way to the Rock Lobster in Broad Ripple to get your groove on to some great local bands like Tax Brandywine and The Post Script.
I could also tell you that it only costs $5 to get in (proceeds go to Toys For Tots) or a new, unwrapped, and unopened toy donatable to Toys For Tots.
But I’ll let Abe and Blain from The Post Script to talk more about tonight’s show:

Why Toys For Tots? Why does that charitable foundation appeal to the band, and what goals do you have for the event?
Abe: When we were thinking about what sort of event we wanted to have, we knew
that we wanted it to benefit something in our local community. Also, we wanted
it to be for a cause that people could readily connect with. We decided on Toys
for Tots because it has a very simple and pure cause, bringing Christmas
presents to young children whose parents can not afford them.
Blain: We love giving as much as we can to charity, which may not be much at this point, but we try our best. We chose Toys for Tots because it is a worthy cause that does a lot of good work at Christmas time.
Tell me about teaming up with Tax Brandywine and DJ Buck Rogers for this show. What are your thoughts regarding the entertainment?
Abe: The guys in Tax Brandywine and DJ Buck Rodgers are all close friends. We
have played together on multiple occasions in the past, and they were our go to
guys for this show. Not only did we know that they would be down to help out
the cause, but we always have a blast playing together! Tax Brandywine’s
Rock/Reggae style mixes really well, and they are a group that our fans always
enjoy.
Blain: We’ve had long relationships with both DJ Buck Rodgers and Tax Brandywine and we love playing with them. We knew that they would be willing and able to help with the cause and would put their hearts and souls into thier performances. We have also had DJ Buck Rodgers sit in on several sets, and play with the band; we love how well his DJ style mixes with our jam band style.
Why Rock Lobster for a show like this and what does it mean to you to have their participation?
Abe: The Rock Lobster is a venue with which we have a great relationship.
They are great people, and we’re happy to be a part of the event, and more than
willing to let all ticket and admission money be donated to the cause. We are
extremely grateful for their participation and support.
Blain: We condsider The Rock Lobster to be our home venue and we always have a great turn out there, so we knew it would be the most beneficial place we could hold a fundraiser. We are honored that they allowed us to set up this event in their venue. Sound man Dan and Megan always do an amazing job running sound, and our friend David will be providing us with an amazing light show for the evening. Therefore we are very excited with how things will look and sound!
Any surprises or anything special for the night?
Abe & Blain: They wouldn’t be surprises if we told you.
