Fri., April 12, Kill the Precedent

Kill the Precedent shares abrasive, aggressive rock synchronized to visually transfixing slide shows displaying random imagery during live performances. The Sacramento band's been busy recently, readying to release a new album, Dialogues With the Dead, this summer. On Friday, the group—along with Black Mackerel and Murderlicious—is playing a fundraising gig called the Tricia Duncan Benefit Show. It's a raffle, baked-goods sale and a night full of music, with all proceeds going toward their friend, Duncan, who is recovering from a traumatic head injury. Witness the charitable sides of these local metal, hardcore and industrial-punk musicians. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.facebook.com/killtheprecedent.
