New Announcements for the Mean Dog Music Women of Rock 2 Breast Cancer Benefit on October 18, 2008

New information and a band line-up change are being announced for the Mean Dog Music Women of Rock 2 breast cancer benefit show. Emcees have been named and Guitar Center has donated a guitar to be custom painted by local artists and raffled off during the event.

Columbus, OH, October 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- A change in the band line-up has been made for Mean Dog Music’s second annual Women of Rock charity event benefiting Central Ohio breast cancer research, education and awareness organizations. Women of Rock 2 will take place on October 18, 2008, from 8:00 PM to 2:00 AM at Whiskey Dick’s, located at 2690 E. Dublin-Granville Road, Columbus, Ohio 43231.

Performances for this year’s event will be by the following local bands: Enchanted, featuring Tina Moore and Wendy Black; Hardwood, featuring Vicki Wood; The Nikki Wilson Band, featuring Nikki Wilson, who also performed at the 2007 Women of Rock event; No Man’s Band, featuring Stacy Wilson; Overated, featuring Steph D; and Voodoo Slave, featuring Stephanie McManaway. Voodoo Slave is replacing the band Warped Minds, who had to drop out of the event due to a scheduling conflict.

Other additions to the event have been made as well. Chris Keigley, the singer for local Ozzy Osbourne tribute band Speak of the Devil, will volunteer his time to emcee the event. Sue Leighton, Mix 97.1's afternoon D.J., will also volunteer her time to be a special guest emcee.

Guitar Center has donated a guitar to be raffled off during the event. The guitar will be custom painted by local artists, making it a one-of-a-kind original work of art. Additional sponsors who have donated items for the raffle are Dirty Booty Clothing, Eddie George’s Grille 27, Lucky 13 Salon, Studio 35 Cinema and Draft House, Sharon H. Bell Designs, and Undone Boutique.

It was originally decided to hold a silent auction for all donated items, but it has since been determined that more money would be raised by raffling the items. 100% of the proceeds from the raffled items will go to local charity.

Mean Dog Music started this annual event in 2007, bringing together local female rock musicians and their bands to raise money for breast cancer research, education and awareness organizations in the Central Ohio area. All proceeds from the event’s door cover charge, advanced ticket sales, raffle, and limited edition merchandise sales, as well as any donations made by individuals during the course of the evening, will go directly to predetermined Central Ohio breast cancer research, education and awareness charity organizations.

This event is open to the public. For more information regarding this event or to schedule interviews, contact Jill Cape at 614-561-7169 or by email at meandogmusic@sbcglobal.net. Logos and graphic advertisements are available upon request.
