It doesn’t matter which tribe in the scene you stand with, one thing we can all agree on is that we come together for our community. Tonight you have a chance to do just that!
Go Betty Go will be leading a huge benefit show and live-stream Sunday night 3 July at The Paramount in Los Angeles to support one of their own.
Back in May, the band announced that guitarist Betty Cisneros has received some horrific news;
“This is tough news to have to share with everyone as it feels surreal. Betty has received the gut-wrenching news that she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She has no other option but to fight like hell. Betty along with all of us in the band and everyone else who loves her, sees no other road, except the one to recovery. Those of you who know Betty, know she’s strong, resilient, and is determined to become cancer-free! If love alone could cure cancer, Betty would be all cured now,”
In addition to Go Betty Go (with Adam Bones, of Two Tens, covering for Betty), expect performances from The Dollyrots, Johnny Madcap and The Distractions, plus an acoustic set by Linh Le & Jennie Cotterill from Bad Cop / Bad Cop. The show will be hosted by the podcast HazyChaos.
Tickets for the show are available now. Check out the Livestream here. GBG have also created a charitable “Fight Betty Fight” T-shirt to raise funds and created a GoFundMe.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
