Pablove Benefit Concert at Turner Hall Ballroom
Before making a move to Los Angeles and co-founding Dangerbird Records, Jeff Castelaz was an integral part of Milwaukee’s thriving mid-’90s music scene, managing not just Citizen King, but also The Gufs, The Promise Ring, and Willy Porter. But while Dangerbird—home of Silversun Pickups and Sea Wolf—has proven to be a successful venture for Castelaz, the recent loss of his 6-year-old son, Pablo, to cancer inspired a different calling for the local native. Castelaz originally started the Pablove Foundation to help fund the near-bankrupt playgrounds at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, but after Pablo’s death he organized the “Pablove Across America” bike ride to raise money for families dealing with cancer, pedaling 3,000 miles from St. Augustine, Fla., to Los Angeles—sometimes sharing the road with fellow cancer activist Lance Armstrong. Castelaz returns to Milwaukee for this benefit concert at Turner Hall featuring several local bands.
