Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Tampabaymuse.com originally started as a one stop calendar listing for the Tampa Bay area. It has now evolved into a free listing service for any area artists, musicians, venue, museums, art centers and more to promote their work and their shows. They accept listings for both the Tampa Bay Muse webpage and a Tampa Bay Muse myspace page.The brains behind TampaBayMuse is Vinnie Blesi. He has put together a benefit CD featuring local bands and one outfit from the UK. Proceeds from the sale of CD’s goes to help Stand Up for Kids. SUFK programs include a Street Outreach and a Stay In School program. They are almost entirely volunteer run and 94% of a donation goes to helping children not to admin costs or executives salaries.

Here’s the lineup on the album:

• Pemberley
• Inertia!
• 48 States Away
• Red Room Cinema
• The Vera Violets
• Doll Parts
• Dennis Dalcin and the Lears
• Military Junior
• Wayne Mason
• Madam Datum (UK)
• Joon
• Timothy Simpson
• Jeremy Gloff
• Ryan Powers Boyle
• The Lake Audition

Order the CD online from Vinnie or exclusively at Vinyl Fever on Henderson Blvd. Vinyl Fever has agreed to donate the entire selling price so they are not making any consignment fees or commissions.

Consider picking up the CD - it’s a good opportunity to hear some local bands and help out a good cause at the same time.
