Healer | Indianapolis, IN

It has been 20 years since our album Live Forever or Die Trying came out and we decided to do 3 reunion shows to celebrate! The first is at init fest in Sioux Falls South Dakota, and this is the first of the two Indianapolis shows. We are very excited about this lineup and hanging out with all of you once again!
First and foremost, this event is to raise awareness and money for the National Ataxia Foundation. Hereditary ataxia is a new disease that has only been discovered 25 years ago, and unfortunately both Ben and C.J. suffer from the inherited genetics that cause their cerebellums to slowly deteriorate (Therefore losing balance, muscle control, and speech capability. Basically we appear really drunk… Although the higher brain functions and the frontal cortex are in perfect operating condition. So this means we get to watch the prisons of our bodies crumble apart while being completely cognitively sharp inside.) Unfortunately at this time, there is no treatment and no cure. However, with your help, we can raise money (through at least a 10% donation from the ticket sales) and also raise awareness by providing information and encouraging everyone to sign up for the NAF newsletter. All in all, this is a huge challenge to our daily lives, but we only were given one life to live. And we'll be damned if we're going to roll over and take this without a fight! We will never lose our passion.

Lineup details:
Zack Melton: The Eras Tour Show
----
Many of you know Zack Melton through his bands Rodeo Ruby Love and/or Away with Vega (or through one of his many other musical endeavors), And we figured if we were going to do this right, we had to get Zack. However, his previous bands were not able to play, so he is starting a band that will span many years of his work. I highly advise you to come check this out as this will be a special one time thing, I'm not even sure what I am in store for!
Kiddo
----
We have felt that it was only the right to have a local and active band on the show. If you have not seen them yet, this is the best hardcore band in Indianapolis. Very energetic and fast! We have been friends for many years and are excited to be finally playing a show together.
Cary Goldberg
Spoken word artist from NJ
*plus guest of honor
----
Keeping you guessing? While this band is confirmed, they have not been announced yet. We are very excited to bring this band to you and explain how much they mean to us. If it wasn't for this band, I am not sure that we would have ever toured or put anything out on init records (aka lfodt) or even do this show.

Tickets are available for presale at $25 with all the taxes and fees included.
35 tickets will be reserved for the door, day of show come out for $30.
This event is ALL AGES with children 13 and under being free. There are also accessible to get available for $15 (please let us know what special accommodations you need, there will be a special viewing area.)
Also, this event will be MC'd by our good friend Jeb. Many of you know him, many of you love him!
And of course, thanks to init records.
