Synthetic Elements With Guest Appearance Nathen Maxwell of Flogging Molly Holds Benefit Concert To Raise Money For Haiti
(January 23, 2010) Denver, CO - The recent Haiti devastation is giving musicians a new reason to sing. Denver’s very own Synthetic Elements is holding a benefit concert on February 5 at the Gothic Theater in order to raise money for Haiti. All proceeds made will be donated to Oxfam America, a humanitarian organization currently on the ground in Haiti, delivering water and sanitation services to tens of thousands of people in need.
Synthetic Elements is pleased to announce Nathen Maxwell of Flogging Molly will be performing on stage the night of the show. Other bands which will be included in the line-up are Denver locals Lola Black, Battleship Agenda, and Vegas Crimes. The event begins at 8 pm, 16+, with tickets available for $10 at the door or online at gothictheatre.com.

The band has offered to donate all profits made from their CD sales for the evening as a sign of their support. In addition, the Gothic Theater, Synthetic Elements, and The Denver Chophouse/Sing Sing Dueling Piano Bar intend to donate one dollar each per every ticket sold.
