MUSIC for MOVIES
a benefit for the Huntington Cinema Arts Centre
THURSDAY, JUNE 30th
Last night's Music for Movies benefit was a success thanks to all of those who helped out and attended. We were able to raise money for a worthy cause and help the Huntington Cinema Arts Centre pay the bills for awhile. The Sky Room Café looked beautiful with its intimate "MTV Unplugged" setting and giant slide show projecting on the screen behind the performers. The turn out was amazing, as newcomers to the cinema were introduced to a venue that supports the arts and it's constituents.

The mood of the night had range. John-Flor and Phendrix delivered acoustic and vocal passion to the youngsters in attendance. The atmosphere turned to utter bliss as last minute stand-in "The Matt Roren Kareoke Experience" rocked the joint with his renditions of INXS and Kylie Minogue. We segued into Slingshot Dakota's upbeat set as the adorable Carly Commando shared her fond memories of the venue with which she shares the CAC initials. The evening was set for Kevin Devine and his minions of Long Island locals -- girls sitting quietly on the floor, song after song, bursting with admiration for the Brooklyn native. Hard rockers Small Arms Dealer closed the night out with an amazing acoustic set, which made me wish they did it more often. It was intertwined with humorous banter, a medley that included Guns N' Roses "Civil War," and an all-out completely incredible finale for the show.

In the end, we did something really good that night. We gave support to the place that's given its support to so many people before. And hopefully we'll be able to do it again.
