On December 19th, they will be helping to raise money and awareness for the group which provides education and economic relief to war-torn northern Uganda, The show will take place at Hollywood's legendary Troubadour club. Along with the performances, the organizers promise multiple auctions for limited-edition and one-of-a-kind band paraphernalia including a Thrice backdrop from previous tours, Riley Breckenridge's drumset, hand painted guitars from Circa Survive, miscellaneous equipment used by Fall Out Boy, and more to come.
Invisible Children started in 2005 with a documentary film about children being abducted and forced to fight as soldiers for a rebel army in northern Uganda. The film, now seen by over 3 million people worldwide, has inspired a global movement of artists, musicians, and activists committed to using their time, talent and money to help end the 22-year war. Throughout the year, Invisible Children tours with bands like Thrice and Fall Out Boy to continue spreading the word and getting people involved.
