As you may have heard, NYC DIY promoter Jonathan Toubin had a crazy accident in Portland a couple of weeks ago. He is now stable, but needs a lot of hospital care and various surgeries. The local community of friends and musicians he booked are organizing several benefit shows to help him out financially. Tonight’s show at Glasslands is a particularly interesting show, involving awesome NYC mainstays psych rock Hopewell (pictured, who graced the Deli’s cover of The Deli Mag’s second issue back in 2005), crazy punk-folkers Wild Yaks, and promising up and comers The Can’t Tells (recent Deli Artist of the Month), This Frontier Needs Heroes and Broke and Rollin’. Apparently there will be two ladies giving professional haircuts for $30 (which is a deal for North Brooklyn) and that money will also be sent to Jonathan Toubin and his family.
