New York’s Cake Shop will hold a benefit show for the Bush Tetras‘ Laura Kennedy on October 26.

It’s become known that the new wave/post-punk band’s bassist and founding member, who suffered a Hepatits C infection, is in need of an immediate liver transplant, which, if you’re at all familiar with contemporary healthcare, will cost astronomical amounts.

The venue will host an event featuring performances by Band of Outsiders, Julian Stockdale, the Bush Tetras themselves, and others, with proceeds going to the Laura Kennedy Liver Fund. Admission requires a minimum donation of $15. Additionally, the money from band merchandise sold at the event will also go towards the fund.

More information on donations can be found here.
