What: In response to the lack of easily accessible, affordable and enjoyable all-age shows, 16-year old Anna Reutinger decided to create a production company by the name of Mother Brain. Her goal is to host benefit concerts that allow teenagers to socialize, release stress and have a good time in a safe environment while simultaneously providing a outlet for local bands to be heard by an eager audience. Mother Brain Productions is hosting it's kick-off Benefit Concert on May 6th at Ashkenaz in Berkeley.

When: May 6th, 7:00pm (doors at 6:30)

Where: Ashkenaz at 1317 San Pablo Avenue (near Gilman St.) Berkeley, CA

Who: Featuring four young local bands:
THE LOOK Somewhat of an oddity in San Francisco's local music landscape, the eclectic East Bay quartet, known as The Look is a band with one simple goal in mind: to rock. They placed second in the Northern California Battle of the Bands. They don't rely on any garage scene credibility. They aren't friends with any Oakland hipsters. They're not a metal band out of the depths of Contra Costa County. What they are is a fully functional, highly schooled Rock'N'Roll outfit.

THE SYMPTOM is a talented East Bay based teenage punk/alternative/rock band combining the influences of Anti-Flag, Misfits, and The Matches to name a few. Together since middle school, they now attend Albany and Berkeley High. They are currently working on a full length album and have great new material popping up frequently.

THE HAPPY ADAMS, is a radical Berkeley High band whose influences include Pavement, Love as Laughter and The Weakerthans. Their intriguing lyrics and infectious riffs will captivate and entangle you in a euphonious whirlwind. They have graced venues such as Blakes and the basements and backyards of Bay Area suburbia.

TRICKY FISH is an Albany High indie band whose whacky yet insightful lyrics and catchy harmonies will conjure an uncontrollable foot tapping at the least. They enjoy rotating instruments and trying to please their neighbor, Linda, who is as appreciative of good music as you are of your monday morning alarm clock.

Tickets are being sold at Mod Lang Records (6328 Fairmount Ave. on the outskirts of the El Cerrito Plaza)
