Former Austin musician (Cheezus, Noodle, etc.) and New York Night Train rare soul DJ Jonathan Toubin was severely injured Dec. 8 when a cab driver plowed into the Portland, Ore. hotel room in which Toubin was sleeping.
Long (mostly?) dormant Austin bands Knife In The Water and Glorium headline a benefit at Emo’s (the original one on Red River) one of many benefits going on around the country for Toubin.
Also on the bill: December Boys, The Black and Quin Galavis, the latter of whom produced of the year’s best Austin albums.
Check out iheartjt.com for more information on Toubin’s condition.
9 p.m., $7, but give until it hurts, obviously.
There is also a Toubin benefit at ND Dec. 22, a Winter “Soul”stice party with DJs Tim Kerr, Butcher Bear, Sue, Gabe & Josh (Breakaway) at ND (501 IH-35).

Living City Benefit Concert
We got dropped a line from some friends about a benefit we felt we should pass along. This Saturday, November 1, local faves The Black and White Years, along with Denton transplants The Zest of Yore, Amy Cook and Corto Maltese will be performing at Club Deville to benefit Project Transitions.
The organization serves people with HIV and AIDS by providing hospice and housing support in caring environment.
The purpose of the event is to bring awareness to “the changing realities of who and how the AIDS epidemic is affecting in its 21st century incarnation.”
In addition to the great live music, the night will include door prizes, with gift certificates from End of An Ear, Whole Foods and Room Service.
The mission of Project Transitions’ Living City Concert [from the release]
Project Transitions’ Development Team introduces a new, distinct event to the city of Austin with Living City. This event will speak to a new demographic of supporters that not only reflect the changing population of Austin’s social and cultural landscape, but also the changing realities of who and how the AIDS epidemic is affecting in its 21st century incarnation. As our agency is devoted to the health and social transitions of the people we serve, our outreach capabilities also readily adapts to these certainties of change.
