WASHINGTON DC- As part of an effort to inspire people to vote for change this November, the coalition of artists who are participating in this Fall's 36 city, 12 state Vote For Change tour will come together for a grand finale performance in Washington DC on October 11 at the MCI Center. This, as with all Vote For Change shows, is presented by MoveOn PAC to benefit America Coming Together (ACT).

For more information about Vote for Change, including ticket information and updates, go to www.moveonpac.org or www.act04.com. The finale show will bring 13 of the Vote For Change artists together for a 4 hour performance. Although these artists vary in genre, their message is the same; they want to inspire people to vote for change. "We all wanted to come back together for a finale show after we had finished our separate tour dates," said Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. "We thought our nation¹s capitol seemed like the most ideal place to do that." "The power of music is coming to Washington to liven the political debate about the need to change the direction of our country. This will be the grand finale to inspire and reinvigorate the democratic political world before we head into the final weeks of the campaign," said Ellen Malcolm, President of ACT. "This finale concert will clearly be a historic event, and we're honored and grateful to be presenting it with so many world-renowned artists," said Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn PAC. "After four years of deficits, layoffs, and war, this call for new leadership will signal to millions of Americans that on November 2nd, they need to get out and vote for change." Vote For Change background Conceived by a loose coalition of musicians four months ago, Vote for Change is a multi-city, multi-artist tour that will include approximately 34 shows in 36 cities in 12 states over the course of 11 days. See full Vote for Change schedule. "The upcoming election provides everyone an opportunity to change the direction our country is headed and to elect a government that is just, rational and respectful of the views and rights of the people it serves. This coalition of artists wants to be a part of that change," said Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. From October 1 through October 8, twenty-one artists will appear on separate bills, on the same night, in select cities in nine battleground states. On October 11, many of these artists will converge on our nation's capital and share the stage for a special grand finale concert to conclude the tour. The Vote for Change tour came about as part of an informal conversation among a handful of artists on how they could make a difference in this year's elections and beyond. What resulted was a first-of-its-kind tour routed through states where the elections are expected to be the closest. All Vote for Change artists are donating their time and talent in support of the tour. America Coming Together (ACT) ACT is the beneficiary of the Vote for Change tour. Unprecedented in scale and strategy, ACT is building the largest voter mobilization effort in the history to elect progressive candidates to federal, state and local offices in November.

Based on the premise that music has the power to change things, NVLB has assembled a diverse cross section of the creative community united in the desire for regime change and committed to raising a collective voice toward a more progressive agenda. Artists participating in the festival include Pearl Jam, Queensryche, David Cross, Mudhoney, John Doe, Grant-Lee Phillips, Pansy Division, the scAVENGERS, Jon Brion, Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), John Roderick (The Long Winters), Jon Auer (the Posies), Alan Sparhawk (Low), John Vanderslice, Kinski, El Vez, Hedwig, the Turn-Ons, the Delays, the Divine Comedy and Robbers on High Street, with more confirmations expected shortly. "It's hard to believe that it was just a few short months ago that I came back from an exasperating Christmas visit with family and hatched the idea that was to become No Vote Left Behind," says co-founder Natasha George. "NVLB has grown in ways that I could have never imagined. Thanks to everyone who helped us make this happen!" "This festival is a tribute to the incredible music scene here in Seattle," says co-booker Barbara Mitchell. "There's an amazing amount of talent, but more than that there's a deep sense of community and a willingness to work toward a common goal ­ in this case, making a statement that it's time for regime change. We couldn't have done this without the local club booking agents, bands who talked to their friends, and everyone else who was willing to help us put together this festival we were naïve enough to think we could pull off. Astonishingly, it worked!" Tickets will go on sale Friday, Sept 10 at 10am PT exclusively through Ticketswest and Ticketweb, depending on the venue. Due to the federal regulations, you must be at least 18 years of age and a registered U.S. citizen to purchase tickets to these shows. No exceptions.

We are a "hard money" organization that reports to the Federal Election Commission. Regime change is our mission. We believe that regular people can no longer wait for professional activists and policy wonks to clean up the Bush administration's mess. We started NVLB to give regular people a place to get engaged. No Vote Left Behind Will Fund A fundraising music festival in Seattle the weekend of September 23-26, 2004 Targeted donations to the Democratic National Committee to secure a Kerry-Edwards victory in November Progressive candidates in contested congressional races in order to win back the legislative branch Progressive, like-minded PACs and causes such as voter registration, election monitoring, and verified voting drives How We Are Different With nearly $650 million in yearly revenues and 8,700 local jobs, the Seattle music industry is a cultural and economic force. NVLB is working to transform this vibrant community into a national political funding source. As NVLB's Chris Olson explains, "There are a lot of other great organizations that are using music to increase voter turn-out and register voters. We want to use music more directly as a fundraising tool. We really want to be a partisan voice in the music community working for regime change. The reason we organized as a hard-money PAC is because it allows us to have that voice, and to say, 'Our community is against Bush.'" While ousting the Bush administration is the driving mission behind all NVLB activity, NVLB funds will also go to fund progressive candidates' campaigns for the House and Senate in hotly-contested races, because there is more to regime change than the presidential election. * * * August 26, 2004 - Second Boston show added Since the first Fleet Center show sold out through the 10C, Pearl Jam has added a second show on September 29th.
