This Friday, the Stabbin Cabin is hosting a benefit for the legal fees of some local environmental activists. Hailing from Grand Rapids, we have punk rockers The Amoebas and Protected Left. They’ll be joined by four local acts: the fast-paced basement punk of Abortion Survivors; Tim Tapper’s minimalist folk rock; self-proclaimed “spazzy punks” Anybody But the Cops; and Endangered Feces. Suggested donation $5—it’s for a good cause!

Two people from Kalamazoo and four from Grand Rapids have been arrested for protesting the DNR’s Mineral Rights Auction, where the state of Michigan sold the rights to extract natural gas using the destructive technique known as fracking. Please come out to support our friends who have fought to protect our state from this highly polluting practice, and enjoy a great night of excellent local music!
