Gordon Riker Benefit Show - April 28th

Regardless of what your opinion of the bands playing, this show is for a really great cause. If you don't know, Gordon Riker was the bicyclist killed on Huntington Ave almost three weeks ago when he was clipped by a taxi while riding. All proceeds from the show go towards the Gordon Riker Urban Foundation, and the show will feature Riker's artwork and apparel from his clothing line that can be purchased as well. Here's the lineup:

Saturday, April 28th @ the ICC, Allston MA - 6PM - All Ages
Vanna
Therefore I Am
A Loss For Words
Medicated Kisses


The Dig has a great article on Riker that you should definitely check out.

On The Might of Princes Reunion Dates

Long Island screamo/post-hardcore vets On the Might of Princes may have broken up after their awe-inspiring album "Sirens" in 2004, but thankfully they are getting back together for another go around. The band will be playing 3 shows in late May. So far there are no venues announced, but the only details I have is that May 18 is in Connecticut, May 19th and 20th are both in NY (whether this is Long Island, NYC or wherever, I have no idea). Stay tuned for more info, because you do NOT want to miss these shows.

Rok Lok records just recently re-issued their first two albums, "Making of a Conversation" and "Where You Are and Where You Want to Be" with tons of extra songs and great packaging, so check them out. The fine people at PunkNews.org also just put up an interview with one of the members of the band, which is most certainly worth checking out here.
