GRO Stinkfest benefit gig

3CR's Girls Radio Offensive loves Melbourne punk! In order to keep promoting the punk scene for another year, they're holding the Stinkfest benefit gig this Saturday 6 April. The fact that it just happens to coincide with Dale's (Girls Radio Offensive programmer) 40th birthday is a mere cherry on top!
