When Russian feminist punk collective Pussy Riot staged an impromptu protest performance against the election campaign of Prime Minister Putin, they were sent to jail for “hooliganism” and could face upwards of 7 years imprisonment if found guilty. Feeling that their charges are a gross violation of human rights, the ladies of Permanent Wave Philly have risen to create a benefit for their defense fund. They’ll be hosting a concert in support at Cha-Cha’Razzi tonight. Donating their time and talents will be riff heavy rockers Dear Althea, the disturbingly beautiful lo-fi sounds of The Suicide Magnets, and delightfully quirky Single Girl Married Girl artist Kate Ferencz. Also added to the bill after City Feral dropped off at the last minute is The Pretty Greens. Cha-Cha’Razzi, (Please contact organizers or acts for more info.), 7pm, $7 – $10 donation, All Ages – Bill McThrill
