Someone please pinch me. Three and a half years after their voluntary break-up, the mighty Dismemberment Plan will reunite for a show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C.

On April 28, the band will take the stage alongside Beauty Pill and Owls and Crows to play a benefit for Callum Robbins, the son of J. and Janet who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Tickets to the show cost $15, and all of the proceeds will go directly to the Robbins family. Special thanks to an on-the-ball reader for the tip!

No additional reunion activity is planned at this time, but we have all our fingers and toes crossed.

In other D-Plan related news, frontman Travis Morrison is still readying an album with his Hellfighters, titled All Y'all, for an April release. Plan bandmate Jason Caddell will produce the new LP. In the meantime, Morrison reports via a website update that he has joined the Washington National Cathedral choir and is enjoying the opportunity to eat brunch early on Sundays.

Plan bassist Eric Axelson and drummer Joe Easley have two shows this weekend with their new band, Statehood. Leigh Thompson recently joined the band on guitar, and though they have no definite recording plans yet, they are still writing new songs.

Statehood dates:

03-02 Washington, DC - The Black Cat *
03-03 Fredericksburg, VA - The Wounded Bookshop #

* with the Thermals, the Big Sleep
# with Tereu Tereu, Anything Goes
