Rocky Sullivan’s hosts a “Kickin’ Cancer” benefit concert for bassist Malcolm Smart, long-time resident of Park Slope and owner of the first dog daycare in Brooklyn. 
The rock-filled event will reunite some of the most beloved musicians in Red Hook: Rome 56 (Artie Lamonica of The Shirts), Spaghetti Eastern Music (Sal Cataldi) Frank’s Museum (led by Frank Ruscitti, with Malcolm Smart on bass) and Formaldehyde Blues Train (FBT), reuniting for the first time in a decade. They’ll also be auctioning of a professional massage and a home visit from a gourmet chef.
On Sept 29, they’ll have a followup show at Freddy’s Bar, featuring Al Lee Wyer, Squirrels from Hell, Pocket Monster, and The Moe.
All funds will go to pay for Smart’s treatment for multiple myeloma. Once he recovers, he plans to launch the Rinky Roadshow. The van will have a mobile recording studio that will inspire random sing-songwriters collaborations across the country. The music kicks off at 8pm.
Tickets are $10 but you’re going to want to give more.
