Some of KSPC’s favorite local and LA based bands are getting together next Thursday, February 17 at the Hip Kitty in Claremont for a very special event, a benefit for Kara Engel.
While we can’t imagine a more awesome (and fun!) lineup to hit the Hip Kitty stage (SAVAGE REPUBLIC, DESPERATION SQUAD, DUDE MIRROR, WCKR SPGT AND SAM MCPHEETERS!), your $20 admission will also go to a very important cause (from the Facebook event page): “As some of you may know, our dear friend Kara Engel has been battling breast cancer and her talented friends want to bring us all together to help her and her family with the financial burden and to show our love and support for Kara.
