Silversun Pickups, along with Dangerbird Records labelmates Eulogies, will play a benefit concert Thursday at the Echoplex in support of the Pablove Foundation, which funds cancer research and support activities for cancer patients. The foundation is named for Pablo Castelaz, the 5-year-old son of Dangerbird co-founder Jeff Castelaz. A year ago Pablo was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms’ Turmor, a rare form of children’s cancer, and has been undergoing treatment at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Tickets, limited to two per customer, are $25 each and are being sold online only, though Ticketweb. They went on sale at 7 tonight and were expected to sell out quickly.

The Castelazes have been chronicling Pablo’s treatment on the Pablog.
