Remember when we mentioned last month that local psych-jammers Nude Sunrise were burgled and were starting a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo to replace their stolen gear. Well, the fundraiser has ended, and they didn’t meet their $2,000 goal—not even by half, though the nearly $1,000 they did raise ain’t nothing to scoff at. So, to help Nude Sunrise continue their fundraising efforts, a few local bands are coming together to throw a benefit show.

The event goes down Saturday night at the Burlington, and the bill features a host of musical friends that often play alongside Nude Sunrise at warehouse venues and DIY spaces across the city. Headlining the night will be noise/no-wave extraordinaires ONO. Also playing will be Motorcycle, the pop project of Nude Sunrise guitarist and lead vocalist Pat Steadman, as well as experimental pop acts Great Valley and Zigtebra. You can also expect some special guests.

The Nude Sunrise Benefit Show is Saturday, Feb. 16 at the Burlington, 3425 W Fullerton, 9 p.m., $9, 21+
