The late, great Dismemberment Plan has announced plans for a special reunion to benefit Callum Robbins, son of of producer J.Robbins. The band will be performing along with Beauty Pill and Owls & Crows.

The band explained:

As many of you know, our good friends J. Robbins and Janet Morgan had a son last year who was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). When DeSoto Records set up a PayPal account for donating money to the Robbins' family, it was brought to our attention that there were exorbitant medical bills and costs outside of their insurance plan to be dealt with. In light of this, The Dismemberment Plan will be playing a benefit show for Cal Robbins at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, April 28th. Tickets are $15, and with help from the City Paper and the Black Cat, all proceeds from this show will go to help Cal Robbins. Tickets will go on sale Friday, March 2nd at 5pm through the Black Cat or Ticketmaster

The show will take place at the Black Cat in Washington DC on Saturday, April 28th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow directly through the venue or through Ticketmaster.

Formed in 1993, the Dismemberment Plan took a diverse range of influences from Fugazi to Gladys Knight and released a series of acclaimed albums. Their last album, Change was released in 2001.
