Memphis Crawl Live TONIGHT at The Brickhouse!

Wanna see an amazing show tonight? Then come on down to The Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue tonight at 10pm, and watch one of the greatest bands ever, Memphis Crawl, raise the roof, rock some socks off, and melt some faces. All info, including directions, can be found by following the link above.

This will surely be a night to remember, because whenever The Crawl plays here it's always a mind blowing experience! Small venue's are the ideal location for a rockin' good time. If you've yet to see Memphis Crawl live, then tonight is your night.

Another important part of this evening's festivities is front man Matty O'Brien's new project called Pure Soul. Tonight was originally supposed to be a one night clothing drive for the homeless of long island. But due to a tremendous turn out, Matty and the rest of the band decided to help the homeless on a more permanent basis.

Pure Soul will continue to collect warm clothing that will be personally handed out by members of the band, and hard core groupies such as myself. So please don't be shy and bring whatever you can. Trust me, there is no donation to small. This is in no way an obligation, so if you are unable to donate, do not let that stop you from enjoying a great night out with awesome live music.

Tonight cover will be $5

Also, if you are unable to make it with your donations tonight, please feel free to leave a comment on this post, and I will be more then happy to come pick up your donations.

Let us build an army, an army for Memphis Crawl

Pure Soul

I realize that it has been over a month since my last post, and for the I apologize from the deepest depth of my soul... now that that's out of the way...

Matty O'Brien, front man for one of the greatest bands of all time, and the rest of The Crawl have decided to start up a charity for the local homeless called Pure Soul. Pure Soul will be collecting gently used coats, jackets, hats, gloves, and other various warm clothing, and will be personally handed out to the local homeless on long island by members of the band, and various Memphis Crawl groupies such as myself.

This is a great cause so please help out as much as you can. The main collection of contributions from all you wonderful fans out there will be done just before and directly after Memphis Crawl's live performances. If you are unable to attend any of The Crawl's show's but would still like to donate, please feel free to leave a comment on the blog and I will personally come and pick up your donations.

There are so many people a lot less fortunate then ourselves. No matter how little we have in this trying times, they have a whole lot less, and in some cases nothing. It's cold enough outside this winter, lets not be cold in denying these people their basic need for warmth.

"I basically just started this because Memphis Crawl always has and always will root for the underdog, in words of my friend James Skidmore, 'Love is Action' I think this band is a great forum to spread the word and help people who need it" -Matty O'Brien

"We want nothing in return except to make it a little easier on the people and show them that there are people out there who still care and are rooting for them, and life is not all about money, it's about love!" -Memphis Crawl


So from Matty O'Brien, the rest of Memphis Crawl, and myself (Ben Pollicino) we ask you to please go through your attic, and dressers, or whatever other receptacle you hold your clothes in and help us clothe the homeless! If you don't have anything to donate, there are TONS of thrift stores across long island where you can find clothes for only a couple of dollars.
