Benefit Concert for Krewe of Eris Arrestees

In the aftermath of the Krewe of Eris/NOPD clash on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, the twelve parade participants who were arrested are now in the process of navigating the court system and facing possible charges. A legal team is helping all twelve arrestees together, and to help cover those costs there is a benefit concert being held tonight at 10 p.m. at the Allways Lounge. Tuba Skinny, Ratty Scurvics, Slow Danger Brass Band, and Sweet Street Symphony, all participants or friends of participants in this year’s parade, will be performing.

Donations to the legal fund for those arrested during the Krewe of Eris parade can also be made at a website set up to help the group, eris12.org.
