Jeff Rule Presents: THE RED STINK OF METAL

 

A Tribute and Fundraiser

Melbourne metal bands unite to pay tribute to radio personality and music industry guru, Jeff Rule.

Countless Melbourne metal bands owe their first ‘big break’ in industry – that all important first gig or radio appearance – to Jeff Rule: band-booker, MC, long-time 3PBS announcer, and Sinister Online columnist. Jeff’s generous engagement with aspiring musicians, coupled with his keen business savvy, has fostered some of the most accomplished and internationally recognized artists in the genre.

Jeff Rule passed away in February 2006; the metal community is saddened by the loss of a great friend and mentor. However, in keeping with Jeff’s own indomitable spirit — the time for tears is past. Now it’s time to rock!

Jeff’s life and legacy – the thriving Melbourne metal scene – is being celebrated on Friday 7 April 2006, with an all-star metal gig at The Corner Hotel in Richmond. All funds will be donated to Jeff’s family to assist with expenses.

Friday 7 April. Doors open 7PM. ENTRY is $10.
The Corner Hotel, 57 Swan St Richmond — www.cornerhotel.com
