Brendon Small's Galaktikon, the critically acclaimed side-project of Brendon Small – the creative mastermind behind Metalocalypse and the band Dethklok – are making history. They will become the first metal act to headline an all-star lineup for "WesFest 8: A Concert to Benefit the Wes Wehmiller Endowed Scholarship at Berklee College of Music" at The Roxy in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 3, 2013.


What is WesFest? Well, it benefits the scholarship fund in the name of Wes Wehmiller (1971-2005), a Berklee graduate ('92) and highly accomplished bassist, athlete and photographer who died of thyroid cancer in January 2005. Established by his family and friends, the Wes Wehmiller Endowed Scholarship is awarded annually to a continuing student at Berklee who best exemplifies the excellence and grace Wehmiller showed as a bassist and as a human being. The WesFest concert series and related fundraising drive has raised more than $150,000 over the past seven years. This year, the goal is to raise $25,000.
