Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Glitter Ball 3 Sells Out!
The people at Rock the Cause have a great passion for the music scene and helping our nonprofits. I love whenever I get a call from them with a new idea to help us grow our base of support.
- Andrea Satter, Development Director – Free Arts Minnesota
Welcome back to Rock the Cause week here on Borangutan! This week we’re showcasing Rock the Cause artists and partnered organizations each day in an effort to raise awareness for Minnesota’s hardest rocking non-profit (Rock the Cause) and the local charities it supports.
Yesterday afternoon we caught word that Glitter Ball 3 is sold out for this Friday night! So if you didn’t snag a ticket, keep your eyes fixed to the Rock the Cause website for the next event. In desperation you could try to loiter outside The Music Box and attempt to find a scalper, but something tells me Lady Fortune won’t be hanging out there with you. GB3 ticket holders are in for one heckuva ride Friday, and the capacity crowd will be a cherry on top. No doubt, one would need to be ridiculous to part with a ticket at this point!
One thing that makes Glitter Ball particularly entertaining (and to some perhaps, bewildering) are the many displays of anachronism that can invade the eyes at any moment. This isn’t a mere night of cover bands playing a handful of cover songs – it’s more like rock ‘n roll theater, and Guns ‘n Roses will be taking the stage Friday courtesy of Minneapolis rockers The Notties. After releasing their album Poor Traits last year, the band has been keeping busy supporting Rock the Cause and playing local shows throughout the cities. But what will they do Friday night? Will they play Paradise City? (probably) Sweet Child ‘O Mine? (Likely) Patience? (if we’re lucky)
It’s So Easy? (No, they wouldn’t play that, would they!) 
This electrifying show should not be missed if you have any love for the 80s and want to feel good about helping our community. Rock The Cause is a fabulous hard-working organization that The Notties are truly proud to be a part of.
- Jon Ehresmann (The Notties)

As mentioned above, The Notties will be masquerading as Guns ‘n Roses at this Friday evening’s Glitter Ball 3 at The Music Box Theater. The concert has sold out, but the charities are still in need of your help. Please consider visiting the links below and becoming involved in your local community and music scene.
