APPETITE FOR RECONSTRUCTION: A GUNS N' ROSES FUNDRAISER FOR NO VOTE LEFT BEHIND

(Sunset) Cover nights, schmuver nights, they're happening all over this city as of late, but one of the most badass of them all has to be tonight's, since it's dedicated to motherfuckin' Guns N' Roses! The local bands already set to bow down to the hard rock giants include the Lashes, Andrea Maxand, Fey Ray, Pleasurecraft, American School of Warsaw, and the Capillaries. And The Stranger's own David Schmader will also be performing excerpts from his play, Letter to Axl. Of course there will be Axl and Slash look-alike contests (but don't even think about coming as Axl unless you can pull off his dead-sexy dance moves), and besides all that, it's a benefit for No Vote Left Behind. You need no better reason to slam down seven bucks and suck down a few beers (Axl would want it no other way) for the cause. MEGAN SELING
