Press Release Thousands Dine Out For Life in Chicago On April 26th AND Chomp For Charity March 26, 2007- CHICAGO, IL - On Thursday, April 26, 2007 80 of the hottest restaurants in Chicagoland will join together to raise money for families and individuals impacted by HIV/AIDS. Chicago-area restaurants will donate a portion of their receipts on April 26, 2007 to benefit AIDSCare. The success of the event depends on getting the word out because the amount of money raised depends on how many people participate by simply “Dining Out” on April 26, 2007. “Dining Out for Life helps those impacted by HIV/AIDS live with dignity and hope,” says Jim Flosi, Executive Director and Founder of AIDSCARE. “All of the money raised goes directly to providing residential housing, case management, food and support services to those in need.” “Every day more people in our city are infected with the virus and we are raising money for our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends and relatives who are impacted by HIV/AIDS.” AIDSCare assists children, families and adults living with advanced HIV/AIDS in the Chicago area achieve a better quality of life through housing, care and supportive services. AIDSCare is the largest provider of housing for people living with HIV/AIDS in Illinois.

Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Deadstring Brothers are forging their own imprint far removed from anything remotely close to what we've been conditioned to expect from the Motor City. While their hometown counterparts follow Iggy Pop's footsteps so closely they're practically ripping the skin off his heels, Deadstring Brothers style embraces a sound from somewhere far beyond the Wayne County line. Starving Winter Report,Deadstring Brothers debut Bloodshot release, pulses with exuberant arrangements painted with the nostalgic call of the Rhodes piano, Stax-worthy horns and lonesome-prairie pedal steel. Frontman Kurt Maschke's warm and rolling lyrics and rock chanteuse Masha Marijieh's sultry vocals are the spine of the band; sustaining vocal harmonies so sweet and inseverable a crowbar couldn't pry them loose. It's an album with an undeniable flair that cries out for some big speakers, a Detroit rag top with a case of Stroh's in the trunk, and a reason to get good and GONE. Deadstring Brothers have toured just about every pocket in the UK and have tackled the Midwest scene here in the states,sharing bills with big wigs like the Sadies, My Morning Jacket, Cat Power, Jesse Sykes, and Drive By Truckers.

Sia (full name Sia Furler) hails from the famously laid-back Australian city of Adelaide. Boasting a powerful, soulful voice, she worked the Adelaide jazz circuit during the '90s as a vocalist for the band Crisp. Her big break came only after she followed in the footsteps of many other Aussie artists and hopped on a plane to the U.K. Sia landed a gig as a backup singer for Jamiroquai, which then led to appearances on tracks by Massive Attack, Zero 7 and William Orbit. Her full-length debut, 'Healing Is Difficult' boasted a splash on the UK chart with 'Drink to Get Drunk.' But her second full length, 'Colour The Small One' has Sia out front and center tracks like 'Breathe Me,' which was given massive exposure when it was used in the elaborate final scene of the HBO series 'Six Feet Under.'
