Weekend Preview: When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Trailer Space Reopens

It's hard enough being in a band and worrying about people ripping off your sound, or ripping your album off the internet, without also having to worry about your musical gear getting ripped off as well. Sadly, that's what happened to our own When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. Whoever stole their stuff no doubt has a karmic ass-whumping coming to 'em, but for now, the band's pals have stepped in for a benefit show at Beerland to offset some of the cost of buying all new shit.

Including the neo-folkster Ralph White, psych Strange Boys, the Pataphysics side project The Amazing Music Brothers, this event has everyone chipping in to help these guys out. The event will be held at Beerland, and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth will take what musical equipment they have left to camp out on the patio for a set.

And you should probably get there early, around 7, if you're at all into author Kris Saknussemm and his "Broken Word Mutant Jazz." Saknussemm will be reading selections of his fetish-obsessed work with the accompaniment of a backing band.
