Of Montreal, Eggers, Mirman Join Boston Book Eaters

Reading, as a friendly giant once reminded me, is fundamental. Kevin Barnes and Bryan Poole of Of Montreal seem to concur, as they've linked up with Dave Eggers' Revenge of the Books Eaters project, which holds star-studded benefits to boost Eggers' 826 youth writing centers.

On September 26 at Boston's Berklee Performance Center, Barnes, Poole, Eggers, bad influence Eugene Mirman, Found magazine founder Davy Rothbart, writer Rodney Rothman, and New York indie poppers Via Audio will all perform in various capacities at yet another Revenge of the Book Eaters event, this one in support of 826Boston. The Boston cavalcade is being held a month to the day after the New York one, which features page-turners Feist, Grizzly Bear, Carl Newman, Jim James, and new addition Britt Daniel of Spoon.

Ryan Adams has also joined the fun, auctioning off "premium seats" for several shows on his fall tour to benefit 826. Go here to bid.
