Ümloud! is an annual fund raising event that benefits Child's Play. Child's Play is a pretty cool organization because it provides toys and games to Children's hospitals around the county.
If you want to call them "band members" the group Baby Dog Time will be performing at the event. To get everyone prepared for the show, Wired.com's video production team has put together this little video.
Personally, it does nothing for me but I'll be honest and say that I have a very big soft spot for charity events that help kids. Having someone very close to me that is alive thanks to the Ronald McDonald house has encouraged me to always support events like these.
If you are in San Francisco and want to take part by performing on stage, you can
