John Pike Memorial Benefit

If you'll recall, John Pike, the drummer for Ra Ra Riot, sadly passed away earlier this year.

I just saw over at The Futurist blog that a benefit show for the John Ryan Pike Memorial Foundation has been scheduled for December 15th in at the Middle East Downstairs in Boston. The show will feature Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club, Vampire Weekend and special guests.

Tickets are on sale for $15, and the show is 18+.

I'd love to be there, but the geography of it won't let me. For those like me who can't attend, donations to the memorial fund can be made to:

John Ryan Pike Memorial Fund
