There is going to be a benefiit show for Scott Harding this coming Wednesday May 28th at Club Europa. Its a amazing lineup with Damemas goes on at 8:30. Two Tears(ex Red Aunts) will follow sometime afterwards,  Fresh Kills will bring their usual thunder(fckin impressive if you missed their set when we played with them months ago). One of my own personal favorites since hearing  them  The Brought Low will weigh in and  Ipecac Records heavy hitters, Dub Trio will settle the score.

Its gonna be a reeeeeeeally good show. Europa sounds HUGE, its got moving lights and tall beautiful bartenders. I would not lead you astray. Please check out this awesome show for a very good cause.

The benefit is for music producer Scott Harding who was recently partlyparalyzed in a car crash in New York. He has worked with or on some of your favorite records. Without any health insurance heis facing very large medical fees. Most of the details of about Scotty's accident can be found here:

Joel Hamilton of Studio B wrote this on Scotts myspace.
'Scotty was in a very bad accident, riding in a car service on his way homefrom a session. It was late at night, and the car service he was in washit at an insane speed (estimated 90-100Mph).

Scotty suffered a few serious injuries. One of the injuries was a shattered vertebrae that also affected his spine. I was just in the hospital tonight with him, and as of right now, Scotty has no feeling in his lower body atall.'
