Kurt Cobain Memorial Foundation's Lounge Acts: Featuring Candlebox and special guest Before Cars

D&R Theatre
Aberdeen, WA

The Kurt Cobain Memorial Foundation is announcing its third-annual benefit concert, Lounge Acts, scheduled for 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17, at the recently renovated D&R Theatre in Aberdeen, Wash. The show is open to all ages. All proceeds go toward the foundations goal to build a youth center in Cobains honor in his hometown of Aberdeen.

Headlining the fundraising event will be quadruple-platinum-selling recording artists Candlebox, whose string of hits include unforgettable classics such as Far Behind, You, and Simple Lessons, which now are rock radio station staples. The bands first single off 2008s Into the Sun album, Stand, hit the Top 20 on Billboards U.S. Mainstream Rock Charts and their current single, A Kiss Before, is on the charts, as well. Candlebox is currently on a summer tour of the U.S. supporting Into the Sun.

Also on the bill will be very special guests Before Cars, fronted by former-Nirvana drummer Chad Channing. Channing, who played on Nirvanas seminal Bleach album, steps out from behind his drum kit in Before Cars, singing and playing bass. The bands current album, Walk Back, was released earlier this year. Channing recently told Rolling Stone magazine his latest album is somewhat of an anthology. Its an accumulation of songs I wrote before Nirvana, during Nirvana and after Nirvana.

The fundraising events lineup also features the two winners from The Road to Lounge Acts, a popular battle of the bands performance held earlier this summer in Aberdeen. Those bands include Godfed Static, which performed at last years Layne Staley tribute show in Seattle and Audreys on Fire, an upcoming blues-rock band out of Aberdeen.
