In Memory of a Legend: A Benefit for Brando 9 p.m. Saturday, March 14. The William A Kerr Foundation, 21 O’Fallon Street. $10. 314-436-3325. When Brandon Arscott passed away unexpectedly in November, many in St. Louis’ punk scene were shocked to learn he was only 23 years old. That shock could be attributed to a few things — for one, the man better known as “Brando” frequently lied about his age when he first started coming around about a decade ago (thirteen is young, even for punks, but especially for bars and venues where said punks congregate). But even more than that, the outsized mark he left on St. Louis’ hardcore punk community seems

impossible for someone so young. Brando performed in several hardcore bands — most notably Ruz, the Warden and Life Like, some of the most celebrated local acts of the last ten years. This show, which will feature performances by both the Warden and Ruz, as well as sets from Q, Unspeakable and Maso, is meant to raise money to fund the release of as much of Brando’s music as possible, which in more recent years even included a slew of hip-hop production work as well. Brando may be gone, but through his music, he will never be forgotten. Sing Along: Brando sang in the Warden; for this show, the members of the band will leave a microphone on stage for anyone who wishes to perform in his stead. —Daniel Hill
