The Christmas Dogs of War 2007 Holiday Cancer Benefit Sat. 12/22 The Christmas Dogs of War The Christmas Dogs of War 2007 Holiday Cancer Benefit will be taking place this year at Buddies Tavern, 277 Johnson Lane in Parlin NJ 732-721-1952. Proceeds from the $10.00 door admission will be donated in full to Michael Daly, a Sayreville resident who has cancer. The Christmas Dogs of War was started in 1987 by Michael Grau , a local musician/producer, as a collection of strange holiday recordings by Grau and his friends that would air on Christmas day on WRSU radio in New Brunswick. The Christmas Dogs of War became a live show in 1989 where it debuted at the unfortunately no longer in business Broadway Central Café in South Amboy NJ. The door money was donated for the first 5 years to the American Cancer Society, but in all years since has gone directly to a local family dealing with cancer. The show has always been billed as “The Christmas Dogs of War * an evening of strange holiday music”, and that description has never failed to disappoint any member of the audience. The radio show ran for over 10 years on WRSU and also spent a few years on a few other local stations. The live show has also taken place over the years at The Dugout in South Amboy, as well as The Saint in Asbury Park. This will be the second year at Buddies Tavern, the new home of this holiday event. Mike Grau is currently the music coordinator at Buddies as well as owner of Grausound Live Sound, a company that will be recording and releasing all original music live performance CDs recorded weekly at Buddies Tavern. Buddies Tavern & Grausound Live Sound are putting the finishing touches on an all new sound, light and video installation in the club.
