BENEFIT FOR GUS TRAPP:
Gas Huffer, ALTA MAY, THE STUCK-UPS, THE AUTHORITIES, THE HOLLOWPOINTS, THE SHIVERS
(Fun House) File this show under "the best possible reason to start your weekend early." Not only is this lineup absolutely killer, but it's for an unquestionably good cause.

On November 15, 2003, Gus Trapp, drummer for legendary Northwest punk band the Fumes and currently in Spokane supergroup Seawolf, collapsed after complaining of headaches and is in a coma after receiving surgery to reduce brain swelling. Being uninsured, Trapp, as well as his longtime girlfriend and their two children, will face a mountain of bills if he is able to pull through. In response, Trapp's friends in the Authorities have organized this amazing show as a benefit for him. Be sure to reward their community spirit by being there when they play, as they are not only bighearted guys but have also developed over the past year into a potent punk rock blender, whipping the best of Motörhead, CCR, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin into a poisonously tasty purée.

Gus Fest

It's been more than a month since Gus Trapp, the drummer for local band Seawolf, had part of his brain removed because of severe swelling. He's since been in a comalike state at a hospital in Olympia.

Trapp's condition was caused by a rare virus that started with a simple cold.

A fixture in the Spokane music scene, Trapp has shown some improvement and his family hopes he can be moved back here soon. But since Trapp was the sole provider for his wife and two sons, the cost of his care continues to be a burden, said Seawolf bassist Tim Absalonson.

Benefit concerts in Spokane and Seattle have been organized to lend Trapp's family some help.

Three benefit shows for Trapp happen this weekend at The B-Side, 230 W. Riverside; Mootsy's, 406 W. Sprague; and Big Dipper, 171 S. Washington.
