Home Alive is a non-profit organization dedicated to end violence in
our communities. Home Alive was formed in response to the murder of Mia
Zapata, the lead singer of Seattle punk band, The Gits.

Home Alive benefit concert Vendetta Red and The Divorce The Vera Project, Seattle, the W.C. Saturday, March 13, 2004


Vendetta Red is a band that thinks they are taking revenge for Rock and
Roll's sake. They're not. Vendetta Red is a group of skinny boys posing
as rock stars. Lead singer, Zach Davidson looks like Shirley Temple's
little brother on a sugar high or crack. Compared to the spirit of Led
Zeppelin and The Who, blasphemy of the highest charge, Vendetta Red
rocks their fan base with dramatic, cymbal heavy alternative drab
music. Don't let my opinions sway you. They have a mainstream hit, I
don't know the name because I don't like it, sorry, but hey- happy
hands raised in the air- fans like their brand of music. Check out
their official website, www.vendettared.com for more info.


Vendetta Red played at a benefit concert for Home Alive at The Vera
Project in Seattle. The Vera Project is one of the best examples of a
DIY music non-profit here in the U.S, focusing on providing a cool
space for all-ages shows and other creative projects. Home Alive is
another Seattle-based non-profit dedicated to end violence-namely
sexual violence against women. On their website, www.homealive.org, the
org states, "We believe violence prevention is a community
responsibility as well as an individual issue. Our work in self defense
encourages everyone to recognize their entitlement to the basic human
right to live free from violence and hate. Our goal is to build a
cultural and social movement that puts violence in a context of
political, economic and social oppression and frames safety as a human
right." Home Alive was formed in response to the murder of Seattle punk
band, The Gits, lead singer Mia Zapata, a victim of sexual violence.

Ok, check out these photos, a proof or spoof, of rock's hard sensibilities.
