Take the Edge Off Hunger: Flyleaf • hard rock • Old Man Shattered • Lullwater • rock, alternative • Ryan White

What's better than free concert tickets? Why, free tix and helping those less fortunate. Flyleaf takes the stage at Sunshine Theater (120 Central SW) on Saturday, Nov. 8, with new frontwoman Kristen May. Formerly of Vedera, May brings solid vocals, impressive breath work and delicious growling to Flyleaf's signature sound. The band tours in support of new album Between the Stars. Listen closely for new songs like lovers' anthem “Magnetic,” moshy number “Set Me on Fire” and wrenchingly nostalgic “City Kids.” And keep your ears tuned for some lovely lyrics in “Magnetic,” wherein May sings, “You seem to know when I need to feel you closer/ Pulling me places I've never been/ There is a light inside you that hypnotizes/ Where I am ending is where you begin.” This grungy alt-rock band teams up with 104.1 FM The Edge to help burqueños in need. Tickets are available at various locations around the Duke City, and you can exchange donations of canned goods to score a seat or purchase tickets the usual, ho-hum way for $15. Fans of all ages can prepare to daydream about or realize crowd surfing aspirations at 8pm. (Renee Chavez)
