Interpol, Parquet Courts & Yeah Yeah Yeahs to take part in Brooklyn Rock Lottery

This Saturday (6th December), members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Anthony & The Johnsons and more are to play a benefit show at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right venue.

The event has a bit of a twist though: it’s the fifth annual Brooklyn Rock Lottery, in which 25 musicians draw names, form new bands between them, write songs and then perform them the same night.

Participants for this edition of the lottery include Interpol’s keyboard player Brandon Curtis, Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Julia Kent of Anthony & The Johnsons, while Les Savy Fav’s Tim Harrington will MC.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Harmony Program, a non-profit organisation that provides after-school music classes to those with a limited access to musical education.

Tickets for the event are sold out, but donations to the Harmony Program can still be made here.

Now free from the snow, Interpol are set to play a run of UK dates in February.
