ABACABB to reunite for benefit show

ABACABB will reunite this month to perform at a benefit for a friend who recently passed away. Here's the official word:

Last Thursday 11/1 the Empire family suffered a tremendous loss. Izzy was not only a great friend but an amazing person. He helped build Empire from day one and took so much pride in the venue. For those of you who may not know him from the venue, you may know him from when he sold merch for ABACABB, In Alcatraz 1962, and many others. We will be hosting a benefit show on 11/16 for his family. We hope that whether you knew him or not you will not only attend the show but help promote it to all your friends so that we can raise the most amount of money for his family as all proceeds from ticket sales and T Shirts will go towards Izzy's fund. We never realize how fragile life is. Hold your loved ones close. RIP brother you will be greatly missed. www.restinpeaceizzy.com artists include: ABACABB In Alcatraz 1962 Life After Death Fit For An Autopsy Paper Trail Dead & Dreaming Delusions Cold Reign Punch Out Menace Immoralist Epitome of The Weak Guala plus more TBA Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to the Izzy fund THIS SHOW IS EXPECTED TO SELL OUT! As much as we want to have 6,000 people here, we have a sellable capacity of 500. If you would like to buy your tickets in advance, you can do so here. You may also reserve a tshirt at the same time. ticket link

Wow I seriously hope that when I die, my life is not celebrated through a show with this band headlining. What a way to go out.
