The Sippy Cups' LA Debut - 'Give Peas a Chance' - a Benefit Concert for The Larchmont Charter School

The Knitting Factory L.A. Hosts San Francisco's Rock Sensation for Kids and Families

Sunday, June 11th, 2006 at 1:30 pm.

LOS ANGELES, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In their Los Angeles debut, critically acclaimed San Francisco kid-rock band The Sippy Cups will perform a benefit concert for The Larchmont Charter School of West Hollywood. Honoring its first anniversary, the free public elementary school is parent-initiated and celebrates the diverse cultures of Los Angeles. The Sippy Cups combine cool pop-rock tunes with comic juggling and playful audience participation that has taken San Francisco by storm.

The show takes place at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 11th at The Knitting Factory, 7021 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028. An additional public show will occur at 4 p.m.

About The Larchmont Charter School:

Opened in September of 2005 with unanimous approval by LAUSD's Board of Education, and a generous grant from the California Department of Education, The Larchmont Charter School is committed to being a school with socioeconomic diversity. They provide a free hot lunch, free transportation and free after- school care for students living under the poverty level because they believe in the highest quality of education for all children.

"Although we provide a more enriching education for our students, we receive no more money, and in fact less money, than the average public school. Fundraising and grant writing are our only means of offering our students the superior education they deserve. The money from The Sippy Cups concert will be applied to subsidizing our Title I students and to our arts enrichment program," said Alice Horevitz, Larchmont Charter School principal.

About The Sippy Cups:

Created by three dads living in a coastal town just south of San Francisco, The Sippy Cups' first gig was a fundraiser for a community-built playground in their neighborhood. Just two years later, all concerts sell out in advance, their CDs fly off the shelves, and critical acclaim hails from the likes of The San Francisco Chronicle, ABC-TV, The New York Post, and Time Magazine. The powerful formula to The Sippy Cups' early success lies in their equal appeal to parents and children and a play list from The Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bowie, The Ramones and others. To top it off, their imaginative original tunes are climbing the kid radio charts and being sung by kids around the country. The SF Chronicle called them "Every parent's favorite kid rock band and quite possibly the illegitimate offspring of The Cat in the Hat and Joey Ramone."
