Last September 1st, Save Alex Movement played their first Metro gig ever! This was for task Force Given Grace's fund raising event called "A Night For Given" held at the now defunct Blackbird Bar in kamagong Street in Makati.

Headlining the event was veteran group The Jerks, who played a very rocking set with both original favorites and classic covers. Datu's Tribe also performed, along with Earthfishfish, and Death or Glory. SAM opened the night with classic covers from Hall and Oates, Lenny Kravitz, among others. The band did a longer set than the usual 3 songs, finishing the night with a total of 7!

Another performer was Ms Monique Wilson and Gabriela, who together recited a spoken word number about women's rights.

In attendance were Given Grace Cebanico's parents who thanked every one for organizing such an event for the cause. See an article about the event HERE.
