Bindle: a term used to describe the bag, sack, or carrying device stereotypically used by the commonly American sub-culture of hobos. The person carrying a bindle was called a bindlestiff, combining bindle with the Average Joe sense of stiff.

Do you want to help eradicate homelessness and the abundance of bindles? Have you been itching to see a handful of Seattle’s coolest bands all in one place, playing the coolest tunes? Well, have I got just the thing for ya. Seattle favorite The Dusty 45’s are proud to partner with DESC (Downtown Emergency Service Center) for the 4th annual Gimme Shelter benefit concert which is happening this Friday, February 3rd at Showbox at The Market.

Here’s a bit from the press release about why The Dusty 45’s own Billy Jo Huel has such an interest in this cause…

Huel’s older brother, Matt, spent years living on Seattle streets, in mental hospitals, and even jail before his family was able to find him and seek help. Once a successful Wall Street professional and world traveler, Matt was struck with schizophrenia in his early thirties. Undiagnosed and untreated, the disease soon unraveled his once successful and happy life. Gimme Shelter is a tribute to Huel’s brother who, with the help and support of DESC, has struggled to overcome homelessness and manage his mental illness. Today Matt and nearly 1,000 other previously homeless members of our community are living stable, productive lives through DESC’s programs of permanent homes, clinical care, emergency shelter, meals, and job training.

Gimme Shelter will feature performances by The Dusty 45s, The Maldives, Lazy Susan, The Young Evils, Betsy Olson, Davidson Hart Kingsbery, and The Purrs. If you didn’t already know, The Maldives are completely rad and they dropped by the mixtape a couple of months ago and you can listen to that chat here.

Check out some video of The Maldives on King 5’s New Day Northwest…
