Much-loved New York DJ Jonathan Toubin remains in a Portland hospital after a car drove through the ground-floor hotel room he was sleeping in last week, and another NYC benefit has been planned to help pay for his hospital and medical bills. This Friday night, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Heavy Trash, Stabbing Eastward (Tunde Adebimpe and Ryan Sawyer), Royal Baths, and DJs Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), Billy Miller (Norton Records), Bear In Heaven, Leo Fitzpatrick, Habibi, and Slowdance will be playing all night. Tickets are $25 to $100, and 100% of proceeds go to Toubin. Last weekend, benefits were held at several locations, including Home Sweet Home, Cake Shop and Motor City.
