“ I throw back a shot of courage, grab my camera, and charge into the fray. Pushing my way through sweating teenagers, I make it to the stage, snap a shot of lead singer Travis Hawley, then duck as some kid launches himself off the stage and onto the waiting hands of the crowd. I get one more shot before the crowd knocks off my flash diffuser, lost forever and crushed under the feet of 300 angst-ridden teenagers. “

“ Nick Kennedy, who is the volunteer director of Kuppajoe, wanted to throw a benefit show, but Kuppajoe were completely booked up to March and did not want to ask any of the touring bands to give up their pay. However, that all changed when one of the bands approached him. “It was PK’s idea,” Kennedy said. “Confide heard about the benefit and wanted to jump on. After a few days, it was solidified. ”
