Bushwick-based band Lady Magma played to a packed crowd at K&M Bar Friday night as part of a benefit for the AIDS Resource Foundation For Children. The band, made up of singer Andrea Mersits, Brian Derdiarian and Teresa McMahon on guitar, bassist Chelsea Vigue, and drummer Max Dunlop, rocked out with an energy so contagious that it led to a crazy dance party afterwards!

For those not familiar with Lady Magma’s punk rock vibe, check out their MySpace page and listen to their demos (I particularly like “Drunk”) or check them out in person this Saturday at Lit Lounge, where they’ll be playing with Pass Kontrol, Soren Well and Gutz.
