Overview
As the people of Nepal struggle to rebuild in the wake of a second major earthquake that shook the region earlier this week, international relief organisations continue to call for donations — and people around Australia continue to answer. Stepping up to the plate this week are the legends at Shadow Electric, who’ve announced a charity gig featuring a bevy of local talent, with proceeds going directly to victims of the disaster.
Scheduled for Sunday May 31, the openair bash at the Abbotsford Convent will feature live performances and DJ sets from the likes of GL, Oscar Key Sung, Edd Fisher, Simon TK, Moksha and King Puppy & The Carnivore. There will also be traditional Nepalese music and dancing, courtesy of Melbourne’s vibrant expat community.
Food and beverage-wise they’ll be serving homemade Nepalese cuisine and delicious masala chai, as well as all the regular offerings at the Shadow Electric bar.
Entry to the event costs $15, one hundred percent of which will be used "to meet the immediate and early recovery needs of those affected by the earthquake in Nepal". Shadow Electric’s website is also directing people to Victorians Stand Together for Nepal, a relief campaign organised by the Victorian Nepalese community that has so far raised more than $112,000.
Shadow Electric’s Help Nepal event kicks off at 6pm on Sunday May 31. To book tickets, visit their website. To learn more about Victorians Stand Together for Nepal, go here.
