Continuing Thursday night's benefit show from the Scoot Inn, myriad bands have come together to help raise funds for Esme Barrera's family at Club 1808. Friday's showcase includes Quin Galavis, Literature, Les Rav, Crooked Bangs, Schmillion and more. See below for the full lineup and some set times. Two stages will have performances starting at 5pm, and minors are welcome until 6:30pm. Between the bands' performances, guests are welcome to speak and pay tribute to Esme.

The generosity of the community that loves Esme so much doesn't stop there. The benefit will host an auction in the backyard of the venue as well. Some of the items available for bids include: two tickets to the Pitchfork music festival, two portable theremins, two Korg tuners, tattoos from local parlors, items from Girls Rock Austin, teeth whitening, dog boarding, vintage and handmade clothes, jewelry, self defense classes, art, and gift cards from various Austin restaurants, boutiques, book stores and music shops. Sun Dragon Martial Arts will conduct a self-defense demonstration at 8pm in the backyard too.

Admission to Friday's benefit is only $5-$10, on a sliding scale. If you can't make it to the show, the donation page is here.
