Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band will be playing a benefit show on August 15 at their namesake’s volcano in Washington state. Hosted by the Mt. St. Helens Institute in tandem with Expanding Brooklyn, the show will raise money for new exhibits at the Johnston Ridge Observatory in honor of the 30th anniversary of the volcano’s eruption. Tickets are $25 for just the concert and entrance to the National Volcanic Monument, or $35 for an additional guided hike. You can purcahse them here. The concert is also the first time that a band will have played a volcano in the continental United States… probably for good reason. On a related note, you should watch MSHVB’s video for “Cheer for Fate” because we like it and we said so.
