February 25 Benefit Features Bands, Comics, and Zines (Like PP78 Itself)

Chicago, IL—On February 25, Punk Planet magazine celebrates the release of PP78 and the bankruptcy of its distributor with a benefit showcase/release party at the Hideout (1354 West Wabansia). This late-evening Sunday show features all the things you love about the thirteen-year-old print publication: the best music, comics, and zines from independent cultural producers throughout Chicago.

Bands include the catchy, crunchy Telenovela (former Peralta, the puta-pons); The roof-tumbling Chicago Thrash Ensemble (Hooray for Metal!); The over-the-top raucous Fast Product (former Star Vehicle, the Interiors, Hot Dog City); And the half-structured ambient space-rock outfit Magic Lantern (former US Maple).
