Detroit MI – Hard Rock Café presents the Pinktober Kick Off party for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Featuring 7 Million Jigawatts wsg/ Michael Seger & Everyone’s Favorite Band. This is a free all ages event! Doors are at 8pm.

To celebrate their 10-year anniversary of the Pinktober Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, Hard Rock Cafes and Hotels everywhere are hosting Pinktober parties and live music events. They are raising awareness and money for local, national, and international charities, such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and The Caron Keiting Foundation. Plus a portion of Pinktober apparel and accessories sales go directly to breast cancer research.

Three local businesses have been generous enough to donate items to be raffled off and all proceeds will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Dearborn Music has donated 6 stock promo posters featuring: Daughtry, the Fray, Dave Matthews Band, the Von Bondies, Springsteen, and a Motown Review Poster. Showtime Detroit has donated guitar cables, a tambourine, and two pink ladies corsets. And for the grand prize Dream Town Media which is the brainchild of Melissa Behring (lead singer of 7 Million Jigawatts) will be raffling off one custom artwork Fender Guitar. Raffle tickets will be $5 each or 5 for $20.

7 Million Jigawatts will be headlining this special event.
Their unique style of music is infused with rock and soul and the talent of this band has caught the attention of Ford Motor Company. Their song, “I’ve Got You Covered,” is featured on the interior 360 view of the 2010 Mustang on www.the2010mustang.com. They will be playing original songs that are due to come out on their upcoming CD release as well as a mix of covers. This is a band that is also very involved in the community. This year they have taken time out of their busy schedules to help raise awareness and money for breast cancer. This will be their third event this year for the cause.

Also bringing their talent to the stage for this special evening will be Michael Seger & Everyone’s Favorite Band. They are a Detroit – based group made up of 5 talented musicians. They are teachers, students, writers, and artists. The band has taken Michael Seger’s acoustic style songs and added drums, bass, electric guitar, synthesizer, and four-part vocal harmonies fusing epic drum beats with captivating melodies.
