On March 14th, 2008 Shirts for a Cure and Photo Finish Records hosted a much talked about showcase at this years South By Southwest Music Festival held as usual in Austin, TX. The formative punk band Hot Water Music climbed on a Texas stage for the first time in four years and showed the crowd why they are considered one of the most influential bands of our era. Playing more then 80 minutes of select tunes from their entire career, including one or two new jems from the recently released "Til The Wheels Fall Off," this was a show for the ages. This day event, hosted at Red 7, also featured a capacity crowd pleasing performances by Paint It Black, The Gaslight Anthem, Anthony Green, Dead To Me, Envy On The Coast and many more. Thanks to all the bands for their constant support of SSE & Shirts for a Cure and for helping make this event momentous. Thanks to Kate Hiltz, Mike Frey, Intern John, Katie Brown, Baltimore's Patrick Martin, Brigette Smith, Ed Hewitt, Matt Galle, Graham Williams and the whole staff at Red 7.

More then 1500 people packed the large patio area at Emo's in Austin, TX on March 17th, 2006 to experience a show no one in attendance will ever forget. South By Southwest played background to this daytime event hosted by Shirts for a Cure, Riot Squad and Photo Finish which featured some of the best and most well known talent playing today in the punk scene. This free event featured the likes of Drive By, Hit The Lights, The Loved Ones, The Receiving End of Sirens, Head Automatica and Circa Survive - and closed the afternoon out with two unforgettable sets from two amazing bands from New Jersey. The seminal punk outfit Lifetime blazed through a set that included favorites such as "Turnpike Gates", "The Boys No Good" and "Ostracized" - proving that their long absence from the stage has not dulled their talent. Next My Chemical Romance climbed on stage and closed the afternoon off, surprising many in the audience by blowing the doors off of Emo's. Storming through stripped down, punk versions of their hits "I'm Not OK" and "Helena" along with a fistful of other fan favorite's, MCR showed the world that success has not changed where they came from. After all was said and done Shirts for a Cure raised over $7000 in donations and the world took notice of our little showcase. Thank you to all who help make this amazing event happen - Brian Schechter, Matt Galle, Margie Alban, Heather Ryan, Ari, Dr Dan, Dave, Scotty, Peter, Gerard, Mikey, Frankie, Bob, Ray, Andy Pants, John Byrd, Katie Brown, Michelle Fearless, Worm, Matt Cortez and all the bands who volunteered their time and energy to this event - none of this would have been possible without you.

More then 500 kids packed the basement of the First Unitarian Church on April 24th, 2005 to experience a rare small-venue performance by The Bouncing Souls. The evening started off with high-energy performances by The Ratchet and Let It Burn. After a slight technical delay, The Loved Ones hit the stage with an emotionally charged rendition of "Drastic" then blazed through a powerful set of tunes. The Explosion came next and did not disappoint - from the first note of "No Revolution" to the last bit of feedback of "Tarantulas", including their version of "Seeing Red" - they made sure everyone had the time of their lives. At 9:45 pm The Bouncing Souls climbed on stage and showed the kids why they are considered the old guard of punk, playing songs from every era of their 18 year long career. Highlights included a guest performance by David Wagenschutz on drums during "Headlights Ditch" and a crowd-pleasing rendition of "True Believers" featuring Dave Hause and Sound Man Bob on second and third guitar. After all was said and done, SSE was able to raise a little over $7,000. Thanks to The Bouncing Souls, The Explosion, The Loved Ones, Let It Burn, The Ratchets, David Wagenschutz, Nicholas, Margie, Andy Pants, Sean Agnew and R5. A very special thanks to K8 Hiltz for her impeccable sense of style and her dedication to organizations like SSE - without her none of this would have been possible. She truly is one of the great ones. To see more images from the show please click here .

As the sun burned off the early morning haze, more then 400 SSE team members breached the starting line to begin the 2004 Orange County Race For The Cure. Winding our way through the palm-lined streets of Newport Beach, our largest team to date made quite an impression. Less then an hour and a quarter later we were crossing the finish line to huge cheers from race organizers and the gathered crowd. After a quick trip to the SSE booth for a sip of water and to sign the banner, the team scattered to rest up for the second part of this epic day. Seven hours later we found ourselves in Anaheim's Chain Reaction nightclub for a special performance by Thrice. After raffling off a ton of amazing goodies, Dustin, Riley, Eddie and Teppei took the stage by force. Blazing through 22 songs, including some they have never played before and one or two they will never play again, the audience felt they were experiencing something special.
