CRUSH CANCER BENEFIT

    This is straight from Elliott McPherson of The Dexateens

   Egans bar holds a very tight 100 people. It is a great place to play and drink away an evening. Egans bar is known for NEVER charging a cover and thick, lingering smoke.

   We are having a benefit there on April the 10th for our friend, Brian Rogers. Brian is fighting a battle with esophageal cancer and we are raising money for his costly doctor bills.

   On this night, Egans is not charging cover, but asking politely, on behalf of the Dexateens,

for a suggested donation of ten dollars. Anyone that donates 20 dollars or more, will receive a free Dexateens t shirt.

   Many people know Brian as SPANKY TWANGLER, member of the southern surf spy syndicate, and guitar player for the PENETRATORS. They were one of the first bands that I encountered as a teenager enrolling in college here at the university. When I got to know the Penetrators, I found myself learning to love to the joys of reverb, scotch and soda, Alabama football, and Bobby Fuller.

   Brian is raising a family with three girls and he is one of the kindest people I know. He is still working his job and carrying on with life, despite the sickness that is coming from his chemo. I just found out that the Penetrators have had a show on the books, at Egans, for many months prior to his diagnosis. They have decided to play the date and will be performing the week after our benefit, on April the 18th. Punk rock.

   If you cant be one of the 100 to fit into egans on april the 10th, and you feel led to do so, please donate via paypal at crushcancer@hotmail.com
