Benefits For Deftones Bassist ContinueBenefits For Deftones Bassist Continue
By now, most people have heard that Deftones bassist Chi Cheng went into a coma after a car accident early last month. Sadly, he remains unresponsive: "There's been no significant change in his condition," the band reported on its MySpace page last week.
Bands all over have been holding benefit concerts to help pay for the bassist's medical expenses, with music fans crowding shows in Sacramento and San Francisco. This Sunday is Los Angeles' turn to host a benefit, put on by the Internet TV site Hollywood Music.
The show starts 9 p.m. Sunday at the Viper Room, with Will Haven, Death Valley High, Tinfed, and "a slew of guest appearances all coming down here," says Hollywood Music founder Steve Bartolone. There will also be freebies and auction items, including artist-signed Oakley sunglasses. Tickets are $20 in advance or at the door.
