Bicycle Collectives Benefit

Small grassroots bicycle collectives are proliferating throughout the Northwest. Four of the newest local projects are combining forces to stage a great looking benefit show next Friday, June 27th.

The bike-friendly bands include Glue, Weapons of Marching Destruction, Seattle's favorite Gypsy brass band Orkestar Zirkonium, the theatrical death-metal glam band Doom Hawk and perennial anarcho-punk dance party favorite DJ Can O' Beans. At the Underground Events Center, 2407 1st Ave. in Belltown. Just $5 to get in.

The entertainers are donating their time, and all proceeds go to benefit bike building, bike education and bike advocacy at the Bike Shack (in Seattle,) Second Cycle (Tacoma,) The Bikery (Seattle,) and Bike and Bike (Olympia.)
