Imagine pulling an all-nighter. Now image pulling an all-nighter while performing in front of a crowd of fans while being video taped. That’s The Treble. The Winnipeg acoustic getup accumulated a massive sleep deficit earlier this month in order to raise money for Canadian Red Cross Canadian Red Cross famine relief in Africa.
Starting at 9pm on a Friday, the band was video taped playing at a different business or Winnipeg landmark every hour for 24 hours straight. From the legislative buildings to hipster hangouts, the band crisscrossed the city, tweeting updates to their fans and supporters. A music video of the fundraiser featuring their performance of “All My Friends,” will be uploaded to itunes soon. Proceeds from the sale of the video will go to Red Cross famine relief in the horn of Africa. Check out their facebook page or myspace account for details.
