What the hell is exactly going on around here? First Will Sexton has stroke at 39, and now Nick Curran, who is in his early 30s is being treated for cancer. The 30s are clearly when your 20s come back to fuck you. Thankfully, Curran is expected to make a full recovery (as is Sexton), but for the love of God, can we get some universal health care around here? Oh right, this is Texas - so even if something (anything, please!?) manages to pass through Congress, this state will probably secede before it helps out the uninsured. But this isn’t about soapboxing, it’s about benefiting. And when punks get together for a benefit, it’s the best kind of benefit, if for no other reason than for one person’s hospital bills that your helping alleviate, there’s the chance the mosh pit will send three more to the ER. It’s an exponential thing. Thursday night at Emo’s, though, the punk and rockabilly scene will rally to help Curran, who actually has a new CD, Reform School Girl, out now. (Download the track “Kill My Baby” here!). On tap for the benefit are Lower Class Brats, Krum Bums, The Chumps, and Flash Boys, with a minimum donation of $6 at the door.
