It seemed a little weird on the way down to Plymouth last Saturday that we were going to be playing in the back room of an Indian Restaurant, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by The Guru Indian Grille and Music Bar in Plymouth, MA. It seems that Bones, the promoter for the evening, has been putting on some good shows of heavy music on the weekends there. Jim regularly frequents these shows, and it was definitely his night as it seemed the whole crowd knew of “Metal Jim.” The sound man was excellent as well, paying close attention to the entire set, was super easy to work with, and actually took the time to make sure everything was sounding good, instead of the usual quick rush-rush job that most sound technician’s do. We got some decent merch sales, and I even heard we made a few bucks at the door, and that Bone’s wants to have us back. You like us, you really like us!?!?
Thank you very much to everyone who attended and/or donated for the Diabetes Benefit. Also thank you to Eleanor Moyer from the Eternal Embrace Hope Foundation for all of her hard work putting this event together. There was a total of $500 raised, and I am excited to report that because of you, Streak & Angela Dimock Photography raised $240 of that! All money is being donated to Camp Care Free, which is a camp for diabetic children where they get to learn about diabetes and create friendships with other children suffering from the same disease. Mrs Streak and I will be participating in a walk for diabetes in Sept, so if you missed donating (or are cool enough to donate again!), then there will be more details on that soon. Thank you again!
We have a really HUGE show coming up… Friday April 30th at The NEW Rocko’s in Manchester, NH!!! We have been given the opportunity to work with New England Concerts, which is part of Live Nation. They set up the biggest shows in New England, and if we can prove ourselves then we are going to be able to get in on some of that action! We have 30 tickets to presell at $15 each. You can email us at “info[at]streakband[dot]net” to set up purchasing, or you can go to the following link to buy via Paypal. www.streakband.net/tour. We can’t do this without your help.

As some of you may or may not know, Mrs Streak has type 1 diabetes. It will be 16 years this year that she has had this devastating disease. Diabetes is a called the silent killer, yet more than 23 million children and adults suffer from this deadly disease. There is no known cure for Diabetes, but with your support we can fund programs that will provide education on fitness, nutrition and information about disease prevention. On Saturday May 8th our friend Eleanor Moyer from the Eternal Embrace Hope Foundation is putting together a “BEAT DIABETES BENEFIT“, happening from Noon – 7pm in Dover, NH. This is an ALL AGES event and tix are only $10. A potion of the proceeds will go to Camp Care Free,a camp for diabetic children. This is going to be a really fun event! Not only will Streak be playing, but Mrs Streak is going to be a key speaker as well as vending her photography. I hope ALL of you can join us on this day, but if not you can STILL donate by purchasing a ticket. Or you can donate via the Paypal button below. Every little bit helps!
