Help Chckn from D.I. beat cancer
Show some love back to a vet who helped write the anthems of your punk rock life

By Ronny, Bakotopia.com contributor

The Dome will host one of the best punk shows that has ever come through Bakersfield on April 27th at 12pm.

The event is to raise money for Chckn, legendary guitarist from the SoCal punk rock band D.I., who was recently diagnosed with cancer and like many musicians did not have any health insurance! 

Chckn initially went to a hospital in Newport Beach, CA and was turned away because he wanted to pay cash, or set up some type of payment plan. Since the treatments were over six thousand dollars per week - he found himself struggling to find help. Fortunately, he began receiving help and treatment from a different hospital. 

Chckn is still paying the same amount - but at least the hospital was willing to set up a payment plan for him. Treatments are expected to reach over $250,000 dollars.

Currently they have raised about 28k. It's help, but there is obviously a long way to go.  This show was put together to help him and his family in a time of need.

All of us in Bako have been impacted by cancer sometime in our lives, whether through family or friend.  Here's a way we can help someone out.

Bands scheduled to appear include: AGENT ORANGE, Union 13, Stink Eye, Drain Bramaged, RWB, The Mantors, Media Control, Paci-Fists, Box Jumper, Order of File and Claw, Three Chord Whore, The Widders, Bad Samaritans, among other punkeroos!  FOR THE FINAL BAND LINE UP GO TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BAKOCHCKN
