Benefit concert for stray/abandoned cats and dogs, promoted by Saquetas de Rua e Esperança Animal.

RAVEN SOUL, a somewhat-gothic rock band from Leiria, was the first of the three bands. Room 2 of Hard Club wasn’t exactly crowded, but since it was a cold week night, so close to Christmas (everybody was practically broke by then), I think the people involved can’t really complain.

In 7 years they’ve released one album, “100 Bleeding Hearts”, signed with the American label Arctic Music Group and won a few music contests. Not bad.
