The Cariboo Student Society in conjunction with students from the Events and Conventions Management Program at Thompson Rivers University is putting on an alcohol-free, all-ages rock show at TRU next week.

The evening will feature four rock bands from the Kamloops area: Blinded, Hezzakya, A Thousand Year Plan and Dear Daedalus. The event will also feature henna rock tattoo artists.

“The main purpose for the concert is to raise funds and product for the “Students Feeding Students” Food Bank,” said co-organizer Ryan Bangma. “With the loss of the food bank’s main sponsor this year this event will be one of the main opportunities to raise donations for the food bank.” The rock show, which starts at 8:00 pm November 8th, will be held in the Independent Centre, located in TRU’s Campus Activity Centre. Doors open at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $8 in advance, or $10 at the door. Guests will receive $2 off tickets at the door if they bring a non-perishable food item to donate. Tickets are available at Play Entertainment, The Kamloops Rock and Smoke Shop, Oronge, and the CSS booth at Thompson Rivers University.
