About this project
Newtown Radio Presents...a benefit concert series for Newtown Creek
Newtown Radio needs funding to host a live show series in Bushwick, Brooklyn starting in September and running through February. Once a month, we will take over a brand new DIY performance space in the neighborhod, bringing four great local acts to the stage each month. Previous performers on Newtown include the Beach Fossils, Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, the Drums, Total Slacker, I'm Turning Into, Food Stamps and many many more. Each show will be broadcast live on newtownradio.com and archived for free download after the event. All admissions will come with an limited-release cassette featuring tracks from each of the bands performing. And before each show we'll have the bands come into the Newtown Radio studio to perform a live session on the air, conduct an interview and play some music from their personal collection.
This round of funding will be used to pay for the first few events -- staffing, audio equipment rental, promotion, and clean up.
5% of all show proceeds will be donated to the Newtown Creek Alliance (newtowncreekalliance.org)

Newtown Radio is located at the Danbro Studios in Bushwick, NYC. We're here to bring you hot new bands from around the world, undiscovered local talent and hidden gems from the past. Newtown Radio is live (give us a call on the air!), it's local (come by and say hi!), and it's loud (turn it UP!) If you're a new band and you want us to play your music or if you have a venue and want us to come broadcast live, let us know...we're kinda down with that.
We need your support to keep this great music streaming!
