As we post this, a fundraiser is being organized for the Swanks, who recently lost all of their gear in a fire that ravaged their rehearsal space. Proceeds from the act's upcoming March 18 show at 3 Kings Tavern, with King Rat, Fire in the Asylum, Chingaso, Epidemik, the Bronze and the Blackouts, will go toward helping the members replace the equipment they lost. Several donations have already been received for a silent auction, including posters from Lindsey Kuhn. We'll keep you updated on any other details.
