Nate Kinsella benefit tonight@Rodan

Tonight at Rodan, there will be a benefit for Make Believe drummer Nate Kinsella who is in serious need of cash for legal fees due to a bizarre night in June at a Christian rock club in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Long story short...it was an oppressively hot night, the club wasn't air conditioned, the band was so miserable they had stripped to their shorts and at one point Kinsella took the extra step to briefly strip completely naked in front of the crowd. While this seems like a fairly tame case of rock show theatrics, apparently the local folks in Bartlesville don't take too kindly to this kind of behavior. As the forwarded e-mail we received from Rodan says, "the Oklahoma judicial system has some truly right-wing reactionary elements and Nate is [now] entangled in some really expensive, serious legal trouble there." Tonight's benefit starts at 10pm and will feature live DJ sets from Noah Leger, Wayne Montana, Frier Tuck and Major Taylor. There will also be raffle prizes given away all night long. Suggested donation at the door is $10 (includes raffle ticket). Rodan is located 1530 N. Milwaukee, right next to Reckless Records in Wicker Park.
