Tonight's stellar lineup at the Showbox has assembled for a very sad yet very worthy cause — a benefit for Talia Reyna, a local woman with a very dangerous form of brain cancer and a very crappy insurance company not willing to buck up and pay for her chemo. I hate hearing stories like this one, but it's always inspiring to see the local music community rally their support….

You can read more about Talia's story right here, and you can head to the Showbox tonight to show your support (and hear some great bands!).

On the bill: Mark Pickeral! Tennis Pro! We Wrote the Book on Connectors! Dance Music for Depressed People! Partman Parthorse!

As I said, great music for a great cause…
