Deerhunter Play Benefit for Georgia Arts Lawyers
Don't most lawyers get enough seamy characters and microphone deepthroaters when they're not working? Eh, not the esquires of Georgia Lawyers for the Arts, the Atlanta-based non-profit organization that assists in securing pro bono (that is, free) legal counsel for artists and non-profit arts organizations in Georgia.
The organization-- who've probably sat down with a mic-licker or three before-- will host its hometown's recently reshuffled Deerhunter at nearby Athens, GA's famed 40 Watt Club for a benefit for the organization September 19. Fellow Peach State denizens Mouser, People, Alexis Gideon, and Powers will join the band in paying off any future karmic mishaps, drug busts, or insurmountably actionable online poker debts.
Thanks to Mike Melonakos for the tip. More Deerhunter dates after the jump, just for kicks.
