July 3, 2010<\/p>\n

The solar wheels keep on turning for widely acclaimed CAKE<\/a>, who returned Thursday to San Francisco to perform another sold out benefit concert at the Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eco\/environmentally conscious pop\/rock outfit from Sacramento, who rely on solar energy to power their music studios, held the concert to raise money to help solarize the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Community Center<\/a>, \u201ca non-profit that helps more than 600 children, seniors, and families each day in San Francisco, with a focus on low to moderate income families,\u201d said Paul Scott, Executive Director of One Atmosphere<\/a>, a non-profit organization \u201cdedicated to combating global warming whose prior work with the Sierra Club and the City of San Francisco has been enthusiastically endorsed by Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and many others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dubbed “Climatepalooza,” the benefit concert which included support performances by King City and The California Honeydrops<\/a>, raised as much as $25 thousand for the community center\u2019s solar project.<\/p>\n

Mayor Gavin Newsom, Senator Mark Leno, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu and SF Democratic Party Chair Aaron Peskin enthusiastically endorsed the fundraiser.<\/p>\n

But it was Peskin and political activist Julian Davis who teamed up to connect CAKE with One Atmosphere to organize the benefit concert.<\/p>\n

Davis was also instrumental in pairing CAKE with Proposition H<\/a>, a failed 2008 ballot measure that would have transformed the City and County of San Francisco into a clean, renewable energy powerhouse. PG&E, the measure\u2019s primary opponent, spent $10 million to defeat the measure, hoodwinking voters with a deluge of slick mailers and TV ads.\u00a0 Mayor Newsom, who owns stock in fossil energy interests<\/a>, opposed the measure calling it \u201ccynical<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much do you love CAKE?\u201d beamed Davis during CAKE\u2019s encore. \u201cAs Paul (Scott) mentioned, every dollar that you spent on your ticket tonight is going to put a solar roof on the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Community Center\u00a0– and that’s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTragically, we are living through the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history,\u201d Davis continued. \u201cWe don’t need to kid ourselves that anything we are doing here tonight will stop the flow of oil into the Gulf, but what we are doing here tonight will help stop the flow of fossil fuels into our economy and our way of life. So I want you to pat yourselves\u00a0on the back, not only because you made it out to the Independent on a Thursday night to see some of your favorite bands, but also because you are all a part of a music-powered clean energy revolution – you are all a part of the climate solution.\u00a0Let’s give a big thank you to CAKE – these guys rock!”<\/p>\n

And rock, they did.<\/p>\n
