Net Neutrality Concert

From the inbox:

On Saturday, February 23, a bevy of woman-centric bands and DJs will play South Street music hub Tritone. Part of a series of monthly events showcasing female musicians, the show is also in support of “Rock the Net” — Future of Music Coalition’s ongoing campaign for net neutrality. Appearing at the “Sugar Town” concert are Beretta 76, Victor Victor Band, KeN, Surgeon and DJ Chatty Cathy.

The Internet is an increasingly powerful tool for musicians. The current structure of the web lets the biggest record labels and smallest bedroom recording artists exist on a more or less equal technological playing field. But some telecoms would like to charge content providers a fee for the faster loading of their sites. Those who couldn’t afford to — or didn’t want to — pay a toll would be relegated the slow lane. Net neutrality preserves everyone’s access to the varied, exciting and legal musical offerings online.

When: Saturday, February 23 at 9 PM
Where: Tritone, 1508 South St. Philadelphia, PA
Admission: $7. 21+.
