(MUSIC) The heartless decision by the City of Seattle to tear down the Ballard Bowl has galvanized
local skateboarders to begin constructing their own legal skatepark along SoDo's Marginal Way. Tonight's benefit show features an appropriately blistering, six-band lineup of local punk and metal bands—including
Wizards of Wor, the Vaccines, and the Fakies—as well as a gear auction facilitated by the fine folks of Bombshelter Skateshop. Proceeds will go toward the park's construction. (
