Mon. Jan. 18

 There's going to be a lot of these Haiti benefits happening around town, and that's always a good thing. Benefits, I mean. We all know Haiti called this earthquake on itself for choosing to worship the devil - sarcasm - but hey we've shot out the devil salute at AC/DC and Metallica shows so maybe here at JSink we're in cahoots too. At any rate, the New Collisions - one of Boston's finest Blondie-esque neo-new wave bands - headlines a Haitian benefit gig at Great Scott Monday Jan. 18. The cover is but $10, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Partners In Health, a Boston-based charitable organization with an established reputation for providing quality health care in Haiti for more than 20 years.
