Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, James Mercer of the Shins, and Dave Bazan of Pedro the Lion play the Showbox to raise funds for the Tsunami victims. It's a horrific disaster, but a heroic fundraising effort. It almost makes it okay for me to be squealing over those three musicians in the same room, never mind performing -- to save lives. Tickets are $15 and it's sponsored by Seattle's kexp.org. God bless the Pacific Northwest.
All proceeds from the Showbox benefits will go to Northwest Medical Teams and will be used to send medical volunteers and lifesaving supplies to help people in Southern Asia.
Details here. You should go.
