Bruce Roehrs (1950-2010) passed away on March 13, and now some local punk bands are helping to raise funds to ensure that the longtime Maximum Rock N Roll columnist will receive a proper memorial. Texas Thieves, Sharp Objects, Ruleta Rusa, and Bad Tickers will play a special benefit show on Friday, Apr. 2, at Thee Parkside. 9:30 p.m., $7. (The show doubles as a release party for Sharp Objects’ new 7-inch.) The memorial service will be held Friday, Apr. 9, at the Columbarium from 1 to 4 p.m. (1 Loraine Court, near the intersection of Stanyan and Anza Streets, just north of Golden Gate Park and directly south of Geary Blvd., SF) and will be open to the public. A show at Thee Parkside will follow the memorial.
