David Bowie Approves Use of Image; Additional Act Added

St. Paul, MN- October 28th, 2008- RZO Music Inc.— on behalf of Glam-Rock legend and singer/songwriter/performer David Bowie— today granted use of the Aladdin Sane cover image to Rock The Cause, the Minnesota 501(c)(3) working to create life changing experiences through the power of music. The image, which features a lightening-bestowed Bowie, appears as the centerpiece for the Glitter Ball 2.0 poster created by Rurik Hover. The night— emceed by Ian Rans (Drinking With Ian)— blasts off at The Varsity Theater on Friday, November 14th with a screening of the Todd Haynes Glam-Rock fantasy Velvet Goldmine and a wine tasting sponsored by Sacre Bleu.

Confirmed musical headliners are Alice Cooper protégés and Hollywood Fame Artist of the Year award-winners Crash Street Kids; White Light Riot; So It Goes; All The Pretty Horses as well as Mercurial Rage. Transmission DJ Jake Rudh will man decks, spinning Glam-tastic tracks from T-Rex, David Bowie, Queen, The Stooges, Roxy Music and more between live acts.
