Givit to get punk rock proceeds

Punk rock will come to Footscray on Saturday, June 28 to kick out the jams for charity.

Ze Wisenheimer, En_Zo and Disgruntled Civil Servant will play at Givit III, an fundraising gig held at Mam Chen’s which is now in it’s third year.

All proceeds from the gig will go towards Givit, a national not-for-profit that partners directly with councils, recovery outreach teams, charities and community groups to connect those in need with generous donors, ensuring that people experiencing hardship receive the essential goods and services they need, when they need them most.

This year, Givit will be passing on money raised from the gig to survivors of domestic violence.

Doors open at 7.30pm, with Melbourne three-piece Disgruntled Civil Servant first on the bill, playing tracks from their recently released five-song EP ‘The Woke Mind Virus’.

They will be followed by self described dark wave western meets post-punk queer goths, En_Zo and then headliners, noisey post-punk four-piece, Ze Wisenheimer.

Tickets are $15 plus booking fee or $20 at the door.
