Seattle-based non-profit Noise For The Needy is once again raising money for charitable causes with a summer festival that will feature several acts including Art Brut [ tickets ], 1990s and The Constantines. The benefit fest, which will take place June 10-14 at several Seattle venues, also will feature Grand Archives, Crystal Antlers and Throw Me The Statue, according to a press release.
