<p style="text-align: justify;">It was with delighted surprise that a
large cache of Looters video, long thought to be lost, was rediscovered
in 2010. This included footage shot on two separate trips to Nicaragua
which has considerable historical value, especially for people
researching the connections between music, the Bay Area and Central
America in the 1980′s. The band decided to turn this footage over to
the Freedom Archives for its preservation and to prepare it for public
access. In the process of transferring from video to hard drive,
however, it was discovered that some of the tapes could not be played
without first being baked. This is a costly process and it is for this
purpose that the Freedom Archives proposed we do a celebratory benefit
to raise the required funds. We hope everyone connected with the
Looters, Komotion or World Beat will join us in an evening of
discussion, poetry, film and music. See you there!<br>
