The Whitehalls are pleased to announce we’ve been selected to join the line up for a very cool benefit show – Silicon Valley Rocks!

Silicon Valley Rocks! 2009, taking place on Dec. 9, will bring together the Valley’s tech community – from VCs and entrepreneurs to bloggers and software developers – to raise money for Music in Schools Today (MuST), a Bay Area non-profit that seeks to rescue music programs from budget cuts.

The showcase will once again feature Silicon Valley bands and original rockers!

Ticket sales are open now at http://svrocks09.eventbrite.com

The show will be held at the famous Great American Music Hall, home to indie music gigs and hall of famers such the Grateful Dead, Duke Ellington, Modest Mouse, and Van Morrison.

The evening’s lineup will include (not necessarily in this order):

THE WHITEHALLS — from straight-ahead rockers to political drama to crowd-pleasing ballads to electronica, this band covers all the bases. Tech Affiliations: Digg.com, Aldon (software), IT for Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, Bite PR.

CORINNE MARCUS & THE KINDRED SPIRITS — catchy and intriguing with hints of Lilith, pop, rock and lounge. Tech Affiliations: Walden Venture Capital and Digidesign.

FAREWELL TYPEWRITER — melodic rock music that’s energetic yet tight, dancey but tough. Tech Affiliations: Hewlett-Packard and Thing Labs (makers of Brizzly).

MARROW — electronica/dance beats guaranteed to make you move your gloomy ass. Tech Affiliations: Pyramind Studios and the “sflogicninja” of YouTube fame.

THE OPEN SOURCE BAND — featuring Jonah Matranga (lead singer of Far) and Randi Zuckerberg (Facebook) — a Silicon Valley Rocks! special freely available for your listening pleasure. Tech Affiliations: Facebook, Norwest Venture Partners, Walden Venture Capital and Amplified Music Services.

THE TELL-TALE HEARTBREAKERS — tearing through the post-punk music scene with tense, guitar and bass-driven songs that reflect the darker side of rock and roll. Tech Affiliations: PDI/DreamWorks.

This will likely be our only show this year as we finish working on our follow up CD!

Come out for a good cause and see the last The Whitehalls show for 2009!
