Fastbacks/Visqueen/Cali Giraffes bassist/vocalist Kim Warnick recently moved back to Seattle after living in Maine, in hopes of avoiding that state's brutal winter. However, the pop-punk luminary had the misfortune to return in time to experience our Snowpocalypse, and during it, she fractured and dislocated her shoulder in a fall. In order to help Warnick defray the cost of months of physical therapy and possibly surgery, friends are throwing a benefit show Sunday, March 3 at the Clock-Out Lounge and starting a GoFundMe campaign.
