Rock N Sock Hop for Jonathon Toubin

January 18th, 8pm-1am, Tickets $10

Mezzanine, 444 Jessie St. San Francisco, CA

“The Mezzanine is hosting a 1950s rock and roll-themed benefit featuring beloved Bay Area musicians and SF locals, Ty Segall, Shannon and the Clams, Hank IV, Lenz (members of the Cuts), and DJ’s Primo (Oldies Night), to raise funds for New York DJ Jonathan Toubin’s recovery. For those not in the know, Toubin was involved in a freak cab accident in Portland last month and remains in critical condition. Although the circumstances are tragic, an evening with Ty Segall and the like will hopefully contribute to a speedy recovery.” -The Bold Italic For tickets: http://jonathantoubinbenefit-mezzsite.eventbrite.com/
