If you're looking for something to do tonight and are in the Lansing area - Rockers play benefit for infant son of fallen Marine


Rockers play benefit for infant son of fallen Marine

A benefit rock concert is being held for the son of a slain soldier at Mac’s Bar on Thursday.

Marine Lance Cpl. Andrew Carpenter died Feb. 19, of wounds received five days earlier in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. His wife, Crissie Carpenter, was one month away from giving birth to their first child, Landon, who arrived March 18.

All proceeds go to “Landon’s Fund.” The late Andrew Carpenter was born in Charlotte, and still has family in the Lansing area. His cousins Shawn Semen and Mark Semen (of the now-defunct Lansing rock bands MK Ultra Culkin and Gaytar, respectively) reunited their bands and organized the benefit.

Narc Out the Reds will kick things off at 9:30 p.m., followed by Fun Ender, Gaytar, MK Ultra Culkin, and The Plurals.

Thursday, June 2 @ Mac’s Bar, 2700 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing, 18 and over. $5, 8 p.m., music starts at 9:30 p.m. sharp.
