Novocastrian punk royalty Trophy Eyes have announced a special one-off hometown show with proceeds going to the NSW Rural Fire Service, in the wake of the recent bushfire devastation.
“Last week, one of our dear friends and Newcastle music community legends, Sam Fenning, lost his home to the fires in Nymboida,” the band wrote in a Facebook post.
“He is currently on the search for his dog Otto who was separated from him in the peak of the fire. Sam was extremely lucky to escape with minor burns and cuts, as his Dad suffered more severe burns. But thankfully, both are alive today.
“Unfortunately, Sams house and belongings were not insured and they have to start again with nothing at all.
“We’ve decided to put together a special last-minute hometown show to assist not only our close friend but also our community & state as a whole. As well as do our best to give a helping hand to the brave firefighters and volunteers.”
The show will take place at the Cambridge Hotel on December 15th. Tickets are on sale now.
