Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Friday, December 5, 2008 at 5:00 PM (EST)

Legendary hardcore acts Unbroken and Swing Kids will be reuniting in May of 2009 for a one-off charity show. The bill will also include Undertow, Jenny Piccolo, Threadbare and Fast Forward. None of the bands are taking any payment for the show, and all money after expenses will go to a number of charities including Planned Parenthood, Che Café, Monarch School for Troubled Families and San Diego Women's Shelter.

I know you love your 100% off-topic stuff but seriously, this is neither the place or time for you to exist.

Thank you.

Rad. So fucking rad.

Cheesetits (December 5, 2008)

I don't get it.

Wentz_Equals_Death (December 5, 2008)

not much to get, i guess, i got that weird bruise at the fest and i liked it

a few "why not"s later and i have the dumbest/coolest tattoo ever

there's plenty going on in my head that makes it more reasonable than it seems, but that's the bare bones of it

givemeamuseumandillfillit (December 5, 2008)

That's not a bruise, that's internal bleeding.

You tattooed internal bleeding. Tomorrow you'll be longing for a dick on your forehead.

MattRamone (December 5, 2008)

Pics or it didn't happen. (The retirement account.)

SloaneDaley (December 5, 2008)

DrGunn (December 5, 2008)

threadbare, unbroken and swing kids? i would fucking love to see that. but how are they gonna do this with eric allen, given that he was in both unbroken and swing kids? odd.

Cheesetits (December 5, 2008)

Undertow, seriously? I guess now that Himsa is done...

givemeamuseumandillfillit (December 5, 2008)

I heard about Unbroken wanting to play a show if Undertow did it with them but...

And one show only? How fucking perfect. I knew justin had something up his sleeve.

As soon as a date is set in stone i'm booking a flight tickets. Holy fuuuccckkk, i've got so many friends who're going to go 10x more nuts than me over this. Fuck. My brain can't even decipher this piece of information.

Shitflipper.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (December 5, 2008)

Not to mention seeing unbroken is going to be totally ridiculous, i've watched the tape of the last show more than two hundred times.

And Jenny Piccolo are playing? Also fucking ridiculous, such a great band. Undertow is going to be so fun too, i've always loved listening to that band because of how hilarious they are.

AND FAST FORWARD ARE OPENING"?!?!?!Jdf akj fa fjsn kjf aj fajs fjasnfasjfklasjfklasfklaf

Ridiculous lineup, just ridiculous.

clam_tears (December 5, 2008)

That's the only reason to go anywhere.

AndyPonch (December 5, 2008)

If only my white belt were clean, my sweater was pressed and my horned rimmed glasses were scratchless......I'd be there!

givemeamuseumandillfillit (December 5, 2008)

Weezer fans like unbroken?

red_eye_inc (December 6, 2008)

You've obviously never listened to any of these bands. Don't look so smart now, do you, dumbass?

the_cobra (December 6, 2008)

sugarfull (December 5, 2008)

killing time, trial, unbroken, underdog, damnation ad, 108, guilt, etc.

jesus... i'll likely make the venture out to cali for the show though. it'll be good to see a couple old friends. oh, and going to the token entry reunion at the end of this month will make up for missing the chicago show.

the_cobra (December 6, 2008)

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (December 6, 2008)
