Last year Jesse Malin put on this event to benefit The Joe Strummer Foundation and Music & Memory in Asbury Park, NJ and it ended up being the show to see last year. This year it's been moved to NYC in order to accommodate more people which equals more money to donate to those wonderful organizations. The date is Aug 25th at Bowery Ballroom and chances are tickets will sell out before you know it.
There is a full set performance by Jesse and his band as well as a second All Star Clash/Joe Strummer jam set afterwards. Artists announced so far, but more will be as the date gets closer are:
HR - Bad Brains
Tommy Stinson - The Replacements
Binky Griptite = The Dap-Kings
Suzy Gardner - L7
Cait O'Riordan - The Pogues
Steve Wynn - The Dream Syndicate
Adam Weiner - Low Cut Connie
Matty Carlock
Don DiLego
Frank Iero - My Chemical Romance
Willie Nile
It's going to be a show for the ages.
