In the run-up to DropStatic's March 26th Rush for NY Benefit Concert (@ the Rush United Methodist Church, 7pm) we are reviewing and writing a piece for each of the artists participating. This week, U of R's The Radium Girls are in the spotlight. The trio's name derives from a term coined for ill-fated female factory workers that were exposed to dangerous amounts of the aforementioned substance and it was their plight that later helped to establish legal precident for employees to sue negligent employers, such as theirs.
The harrowing name belies the band's loose and acessable sound; the kind of thing you'd want playing when you finally get the courage to dance. We recently corresponded with Ben Brown, their bass player, who has been busily involved in another great cause, ArtAwake here in Rochester. We appreciate his support and involvement in that effort, and we at DropStatic know the same kind of energy will be unleased on Friday, March 26th at the Rush United Methodist Church at 7pm to help send fellow students on a mission trip. Come support great people and a great cause with us!
