Los Angeles bands No Age, Tearist and LA Fog will join the coalition to stop Walmart from invading Chinatown with a benefit event at the Human Resources Gallery on June 29th. The popular bands will be joined by DJs from Chinatown-based K-Chung radio, including Nick Malkin of LA Vampires, DJ Jim Smith (co-founder of Downtown LA DIY stronghold The Smell and union organizer by day) and speakers from the Los Angeles labor and activism community. The June 29th event will lead up to the largest anti-Walmart demonstration ever, which is scheduled for Los Angeles State Historic Park on June 30th.

When: June 29^th, 2012 – 7:00 PM – 11:30 PM

Where: Human Resources – 410 Cottage Home St. in Chinatown, 90012

Cost: $5.00 suggested donation with proceeds to benefit nonprofit organizations driving the anti-Walmart effort

If you miss the show, come out the next day to the LA Union Walmart Action at the Los Angeles State Historic Park.
