The Call Up - A Tribute to Joe Strummer

About Me

Historic forces have mobilized once more to keep the annual San Franciscan tradition of celebrating the life and music of Joe Strummer going in 2008. On Sunday December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, we will gather early for the working folk at The Bottom of the Hill, celebrate the sounds of Joe and The Clash, while raising funds for the Foundation set up in his name: Strummerville. www.strummerville.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Clash/Joe Strummer fans. And bands that can play Clash/Joe Strummer/Mescalero songs on 12/7/08 at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.
