If youre going to get your punk rawk party on for Christmas Eve, you probably ought to do it for a good cause. This benefits headlined by sassy pop-punk favorites TacocaT and garage-rock duo Pony Time, which features Stacy Peck on drums and Luke Beetham on bass and vocalskind of like our own less poppy Matt & Kim. Their stage presence gets an augmentation from the danceable cheer of KEXP DJs Sharlese, Nick Turner and Miss Clarita, along with Hatties Hats resident DJ Megan Cookies and some laughs from standup comedian Victoria Liss. Best of all, proceeds from the rafflewhich includes everything from a Vera Project gift bag to a tattoo coupongo to foster kids via local organization Treehouse For Kids. NICK FELDMAN
