Eight Gigs: The Moans
Thu., Nov. 5, 8 p.m., The Blue Lamp, $5
The Moans (pictured), Pug Skullz, City of Vain and the Strange Party perform on day two of Danny Secretion's Lame Ass Birthday Party. The four-night affair, known as the F%$# Cancer benefit, hosts dozens of bands at a handful of venues with all benefits donated to the American Cancer Society. Look for night three at Old Ironsides, followed by night four at the Colonial Theatre Complex, but not before joining the punks at the Blue Lamp to celebrate Secretion's annual fundraising event as he performs in The Moans. Wish him a happy birthday, too, because raising money for cancer patients is anything but lame. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.facebook.com/themoans.
