Yes, there is a free event here this evening that will feature The Breeders and The National. It is a rally for Obama and a voter registration rally. I'm not suggesting you go because of the Obama rally. I'm just suggesting you go for the music. If you go for the rally, that's cool too. I'm just giving you some information. Actress Natalie Portman will be there also speaking at 7 pm.
Avoid the lines on Election Day! For registered voters of Hamilton County, charter buses will be shuttling to and from Board of Elections and the Square during the rally so participants can cast their ballot. All you need is a Driver's license or the last 4 digits of your SS number. There will be Applications for Absentee Ballots for all Ohioans that are not registered in Hamilton County.
Here's some information on the two bands.
The Breeders (perform 5:15-6:15 pm) are an American alternative rock band formed in 1988 by Kim Deal. The band's current line-up consists of Kim Deal (lead vocals and guitar), her twin sister Kelley Deal (guitar and backing vocals), Jose Medeles (drums and percussion), Mando Lopez (bass guitar) and Cheryl Lyndsey (guitar). The band has released four studio albums: Pod (1990), Last Splash (1993), Title TK (2002) and Mountain Battles (2008).
