Girls Rock Philly!

Thanks to all of you, we made nearly $3000 yesterday at our benefit & silent auction at Triumph Brewery. Not bad for a free, 3-hour show.

Thanks to all our bands, donors, bidders & attendees for a lot of fun on a busy Sunday afternoon.  All of the money goes directly to the campers: scholarships for camp week, instruments, and rent for our year-round practice space.

Seriously, there is so much stuff you can get from us, it’s not even fair.

 

 

They changed their name from Sakura to Oak Oak Okay.

They set up MySpace pages.

They played Johnny Brenda’s & the Troc.

They play 3 upcoming shows:

Friday, April 4th at Doc Watson’s. Time TBA (probably around 8ish)
Saturday, May 3rd at a Philly Roller Girls event.

They sound like this:

An update on the Girls Rock! movie — it’s no longer opening at the Ritz in May, so GRP & the Girls Rock! Movie people are in talks with other theaters (and each other) to bring this film to town.  And definitely contact us if you have any suggestions!

 Are you a fan of Girls Rock Camps & films? Then you’ll love Girls Rock! The Movie, a full-length documentary on the Rock N’ Roll Camp For Girls in Portland, OR & on the Girls Rock Camp phenomenon.  Check out the trailer below:

You can find a list of U.S. movie screenings here - with Philadelphia’s premiere on Friday, May 9th at the Ritz at the Bourse.  And yes, we’re planning on a GRP event around it! Stay tuned.

Girls Rock Philly has a new website, thanks to the wonderful people at Yikes! and we’re very excited about it.

GRP is also thisclose to unveiling our plans for Camp 2008, so stay tuned to this beautiful new site for updates.  If you are like us & can’t wait to apply, sign up for our mailing list at right - we’ll be sending out an announcement the moment we put our camper & volunteer applications online.  We’re just dotting all our i’s & crossing all our t’s.
