Chelle Thomas Benefit at The Basement

The pixieish Thomas you know from The Basement, where she can sometimes be found working the door. What you probably don't know is that she suffers from Crohn's disease, a chronic, inflammatory bowel condition that inflicts serious abdominal pain almost every day of her life--and that has saddled her with thousands of dollars in medical bills. To help her out, John Davis of Superdrag headlines a strong bill that includes Eureka Gold, And the Relatives, Oblio, the Lonely Hearts, Stephen Belin and the Minor Keys, Korean Is Asian and Bad Friend. A minimum $7 donation is requested.
