The Bullet Parade. The Marauders. Katsu. Tokyo Vertigo. No Points Scored.

No, that's not five random phrases in the English language strung together, but instead, a list of five well-known bands in the State College area who will be performing at 8 p.m. Monday at the Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave.

Tickets for the benefit show cost $5 and all proceeds from the concert will go toward pharmaceutical supplies for the Centre Volunteers in Medicine.

Established in December 2002, the Centre Volunteers in Medicine clinic consists of doctors who volunteer their time to give primary medical care to uninsured patients in the State College area.

Concert organizer Jason Riedmiller doesn't work for the Centre Volunteers in Medicine, but his goals for the benefit concert are to raise money for the center and for people to enjoy themselves.

"[The Centre Volunteers in Medicine] helped out a friend of mine and I wanted to help
them so I put together this concert. I picked bands that I liked and that I knew had big followings in the State College area," he said.

One of the acts, local three-piece band No Points Scored, plays in the area one to two times a month and is set to release its first EP next month.

Recently added to the set list, No Points Scored got involved in the benefit concert through fellow performers Bullet Parade, and is happy to play.

"We're playing because the center is a good cause," band member Eric Myers said.

Another band playing, Katsu, also considers State College to be its home base and is very excited to be participating in the concert.

"The rock show is a really good cause and is by far the best of local and regional bands," said Dennis Fallon, Katsu's lead singer, songwriter and guitarist. "... Most benefit shows are hit or miss, but with these bands, on this night, there is a style of music everyone will dig."

Katsu got involved with the benefit concert through Riedmiller.

"We love doing benefit concerts. ... It's a good way for bands to support good causes," Fallon said.

Tokyo Vertigo, a band of Penn State students, plays every Wednesday night at The Brewery, 233 E. Beaver Ave., and will also be playing at the concert.

"[Riedmiller] came to see our show, liked our sound and [the band] felt the concert was a good cause and wanted to play," Joby Joy, Tokyo Vertigo's manager, said.

Celeste Newcomb, Centre Volunteers in Medicine executive director, started working at the center in February 2003 and helps to coordinate the volunteer doctors. She said the center is excited for the concert.

"It is a benefit to raise money for the 11,000 people in Centre County that are uninsured and have no access to primary health care," Newcomb said.

Newcomb also puts together other fund-raisers for the center.

"[The rock show] is one of the many fund-raisers for the clinic. ...The Boston Marathon Challenge is also going on now and involves many Penn State students," she added.
