In memory of Mark Kamins: An all out pow wow of ''Everbody'' at Santos Party House, April 17

When legendary DJ Mark Kamins passed away back in mid-February, he left behind a whole lot of friends around the world, but especially here in the city where he made his name. On April 17, at Santos Party House, a veritable all star lineup of many of these friends will pay tribute. This includes a headlining appearance by Konk, who haven't performed together since 1986!
