As many of you already know, Aaron Wilkinson was the guitarist for The Moldy peaches on their US tour with The Strokes. Tonight at Sin-E, there’s a benefit going down for Aaron, and all the proceeds will be going towards the construction of a playground to be built in his name in Texas (where for years he worked with special needs children). The Line-up is below, doors are at 7pm, and it’s a mere $10. Pay your respects to a great man amidst some awesome music.
Sin-E Line-up:
8:00-8:15 pm Dennis Wilkinson (Aaron's dad)
8:15-8:45 pm Graham Wilkinson (Aaron's brother)

And then of course, there’s the hottest bill in the City this summer, the importation of THE STREETS and DIZZEE RASCAL. They’re playing a two-day gig at Irving Plaza, and tonight kicks it all off. I can’t say that I really know too much about Dizzee, save the hype. But I am a Mike Skinner fanatic, having become consecutively addicted to “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Let’s Push Things Forward”, and of course that blazing masterpiece that is “Fit But You Know It”. This is one for the masses, so if you have tickets, rock on with your Cockney-rap-loving selves. For the rest of us, there’ll always be London.
