Bid on a one-of-a-kind Fender Jazz Bass Guitar

80's Hardcore Punk Music Gives Back

A capacity crowd of 1,200 fans jammed into Club Lido, Revere for The Gallery East Reunion extravaganza on 8/29/10. Fans literally came from all over the US and the world to see re-united 1980s Hardcore Punk bands: DYS, the FU's, Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, Antidote and Slapshot as well as up and comers Refuse/Resist & The Revilers.

ROBB ZARGES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS, spoke at the event, chronicling Bridge's history and mission and announced on stage the signing, by all bands present, of a white Fender Jazz bass guitar being donated by DYS co-founder & bass guitarist, Jonathan Anastas.
 
Anastas purchased the Fender Jazz for rehearsals leading up to DYS' live set on 8/29: being filmed for "xxx All Ages xxx- Boston Hardcore Music - The Documentary" and to DONATE TO BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS after the show's conclusion.
 
Anastas signed, sealed and delivered on stage Sunday night, reminding the crowd "When I was a teenager, I had THIS - the hardcore scene - to get me through my tough times with positive influence. Not every kid has a peer set like this and some kids need a lot more help. That's why we wanted to support Bridge, because they really make a difference."

Now, it's your turn! BID on this cult classic, one-of-a-kind signed Fender Jazz bass guitar with ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE AUCTION GOING TO BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS!

This set of bands will never play together again and all these musicians will never be in the same city again together, let alone share a stage.

Even if you weren't one of the lucky 1,200 to watch Anastas play on 8/29/10, you can see his performance when the documentary is released and available on DVD in Spring 2011.
