Since the public announcement of Callum Robbins' Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy last month, support in the form of benefit concerts and raffles has poured in, with benefits in Chicago and New York City taking place last weekend.

The mighty Steve Albini is joining the charge along with the rest of Shellac, who will play a second Chicago benefit for the young Robbins at Subterranean on April 27. Shellac in a tiny club? That's worth skipping Coachella for, right?

As previously reported, the band was recently added to the lineup of the ATP Versus You (the Fans) festival, which makes two Shellac shows inside of a month (their festival appearance is on May 19). Those of you who smell the approach of a new Shellac record are onto something, as one is promised later this year. Other than that, we know about as much as you do.

Finally, for those who either don't live in New York City or Chicago or simply aren't able to make it to a benefit, you can still go here to donate money to the Robbins family on Cal's behalf.
