Music Menu / News Haiti Benefit tonight (01/29/2010)

Posted By on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 8:11 AM

Haiti Benefit There's no word yet on who the bands are, but my guess would be that five local ones will join forces to help raise money to benefit the victims of the recent earthquake. It's a good cause and, no doubt, will be some great music. Neighborhood Theatre (Jeff Hahne)

Monotonix This Israeli trio is a rabid dog cut loose amongst masochistic crowds. Take the deranged lead singer Ami Shalev, who howls and screams and incessantly jumps into and over the crowd, add a raw, bluesy punk guitarist and a furious drummer, and watch joint invariably end in mayhem. Lunacy ensues and loose objects fly, albeit wrought with raw musicality. Stand in the back, lest you harbor aforementioned masochistic tendencies. With Grids and Brain Flannel. Snug Harbor (Samir Shukla)

The Slackers It's been almost two decades since their inception yet The Slackers continue to defy their moniker when it comes to ska and rocksteady. They've been evoking the early days of ska, circa early '60s, from the get-go and continue to carry that torch, but of late their muse leans more rocksteady (the bridge between ska and the development of reggae) while not forgetting their punk roots. With Bums Lie. Visulite Theatre (Shukla)
