WE ARE THE WILEY: A Benefit for Jon Wiley
A circle of Brooklyn-based friends have joined together to throw a benefit for beloved, local musician, Jon Wiley. We Are the Wiley: A Benefit Concert for Jon Wiley will feature Adam Green, Lightspeed Champion, DJ Johnny Tropical, and Chairlift at The Shank—an art space and concert venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—on Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 8PM.
On March 5, 2009, professional guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist, Jon Wiley awoke without feeling or mobility in his arms and legs. He was subsequently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and incurred more than $30,000 worth of medical bills for his week-long hospital stay. After a lengthy recovery process, Jon has regained most feeling in his limbs and has gone on in recent months to record and perform with Lightspeed Champion, Adam Green, and his solo project, SpaceCamp. However, he is still without the means to afford his own healthcare.
Join us to celebrate the extraordinary talent of Jon Wiley, and raise funds to cover the expenses of a musician in need. This is a concrete opportunity to help a friend who, like so many artists and musicians in the United States, lack affordable healthcare. Jon’s story highlights the importance of healthcare for every person and the value of living each day to the fullest.

After the Jump is headed down to Austin for the second year in a row, bringing back our killer Official SXSW showcase, full of bands we think you’ll be reading about all this year, and our off the hook, out of control house party.
So for all those with a badge or wristband, come join us Thursday night, 9pm, at The Rusty Spurs.
And for those of you going rogue (or just looking to avoid the overpacked showcases of 6th St.), come out to the East Side of Austin, to an old school house party, FRIDAY, March 20th, Noon-??? (headliners Superdrag are on at 7:15pm)
Last year’s house party was a rager with 6 drained kegs in less than three hours and a bust up by the cops. But the law couldn’t bring that party down, we continued on into the wee hours of the night, and it certainly won’t again this year. We’ll be returning to the scene of the crime with headliners SUPERDRAG, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Cause Co-motion, US Royalty, Parenthetical Girls, Evangelicals, Howlies and more. And this time, Red Stripe and Vitamin Water will be making sure we don’t run out of drinks and Rugby (by Ralph Lauren) will be providing goodiesÂ
