Last night at Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, Papadosio kicked off their annual Earth Night celebration with a special pre-party, featuring a Live PA set from the progressive space rock act, along with support set from Zombie Mañana. Earth Night’s mission of “Music – Tech – Art – Action” will be ever-present at this year’s highly anticipated event. Tonight, the group will host the official party at Concord Music Hall with help from Dirtwire (featuring David Satori of Beats Antique) and Lapa (also known as Ilya Goldberg of Emancipator).

Live For Live Music was able to chat with event organizer and producer Jason Takahashi about the importance of staying engaged and fighting for important causes, and specifically, those related to the pressing matter of global climate change.
