This Sunday, January 10th, The Smell is hosting a benefit show to raise money for Elizabeth Alvarado, the wife of Sean Pineda, a beloved Los Angeles musician who passed away in a car accident on December 5th. Sean performed solo as S. Pineda and with his wife in a band called ALONE. More than twelve acts are performing to show their support, including Inner Ecstasy, Voice on Tape, and Nima Kazerouni of So Many Wizards. 100% of the proceeds are going to cover the medical bills of Elizabeth, who was also in the accident. The supportive spirit of LA’s close-knit musical community is something very special, and it’s telling that it weathers through the tragedies, just as much as the good times. Come out to celebrate the life of one of our own who will be dearly missed – it starts at 8 PM sharp, and may sell out. – Brittany Scheffler
