Members of Blondie, The Replacements, MC5, and The Heartbreakers form punk supergroup

The supergroup that every long-haired, bespectacled record store clerk has been waiting for since they bought their first Television album is finally upon us. Blondie’s Clem Burke, The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson, The Heartbreakers’ (as in Johnny Thunders, not Tom Petty) Walter Lure, and Wayne Kramer of the MC5 are going to kick out the jams for the motherfuckers at the Marlin Room at Webster Hall this November.
The band got together to help out writer and punk rocker Stephan Saban, who, according to Stereogum, was “diagnosed with cancer last year at the age of 69.” Last year, a GoFundMe page started by Saban’s daughter raised over $20,000 to help with Saban’s healthcare costs. “It’s really weird,” Saban told The New York Times. “I didn’t know anyone even liked me.”
