Dino Gala, bedbug, Puppy Problems, Sweet Petunia, Senseless Optimism, The C.O.M.P. and the Boston Dabke Troupe are set to appear at the Palestine Solidarity Concert this Saturday, June 3rd, at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts on 24 Eliot Street in Jamaica Plain. The event is set to begin at 5pm and will be raising funds and material aid for the people of Palestine, as well as raising awareness and expressing solidarity for their continual struggles in the face of an oppressive regime.
Dino Gala recently dropped their fourth single, “British,” while bedbug are supporting their recent and excellent “S/T” EP release. Sweet Petunia’s latest release is 2021’s “Lovingly,” EP and Senseless Optimism is playing fresh off of last year’s Boston Music Award nominations. The concert proves to feature an eclectic set of alternative, folk, emo and more, and should be a fun evening of music and fundraising in the light of a serious, ongoing international issue.
The show is being put on by Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) Boston and will be free, though donations are encouraged. Donations can also be made at Gaza Mutual Aid Collective or to BDS Boston (BDS-Boston on Venmo). Attendees are also encouraged to look into organizing groups like BDS, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and Students for Justice in Palestine. RSVP’s for the concert can be found here. We hope to see you there! #BostonForPalestine
