Site debuts with a benefit concert to bring awareness to irresponsible logging practices in environmentally-sensitive areas iincluding Los Gatos Creek and Thompson Road.

Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- DigNit (www.DigNit.com), a site dedicated to connecting emerging musical talent, filmmakers and artists with on-line audiences, announced an upcoming concert to benefit the Neighbors Against Irresponsible Logging (NAIL). The benefit is set to bring awareness to the mudslides, floods and destruction of the local watershed brought about by irresponsible logging practices.

Featuring Bay Area rockers and DigNit discoveries, Shrink Circus with special psychobilly guest MotorPunx, also a DigNit artist, will perform beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 15th at The Venue in Los Gatos. Tickets are available on-line at DigNit for $10.00 with all ticket and concession proceeds going to NAIL.

"Being environmentally aware is everyone's responsibility," said Eric Horton, DigNit founder, musician and environmentalist. "The problems caused by irresponsible logging are right in my own backyard. I see the erosion and the trauma caused and wonder what the situation and damage will be in five years, ten or even 25 years down the road. Bringing awareness to this local crisis will ultimately save countless acres of environmentally-sensitive land."

In support of NAIL, Shrink Circus, a Santa Cruz Mountains based band who writes and records original heavy rock in their recording studio known at "The Cave" will entertain with their recent album No Lust For Result that can be heard at: http://www.dignit.com/members/2/music.php. Joining Shrink Circus is the psychobilly rock band Motorpunx. All members of the DigNit community have the option to hear, download and review original music from both bands.
