You can vibe out to alt-rock and neo-soul while supporting a worthy cause this weekend by attending the 11th annual "Brainfest" charity concert. All proceeds from the concert will go to the American Brain Tumor Association.

The concert will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, at the Broken Goblet, 2500 State Road, Bensalem.

"Brainfest is an event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the advancement in the understanding and treatment of brain tumors, and $5 from every ticket sold will be donated to the American Brain Tumor Association," read a portion of the Broken Goblet's Brainfest page. "This is a fantastic cause that is also very personal to Broken Goblet ownership. We hope that you can join us for some killer music and raising money for a great cause."

Wheatus is perhaps best known for the monster 2000 hit, "Teenage Dirtbag." The band stayed fairly active since, releasing albums "Hand Over Your Loved Ones" in 2003, "Too Soon Monsoon" in 2005, the two-piece EP "Pop, Songs & Death" in 2012, and "The Valentine LP" in 2013.

Wheatus also has a reissue of "Teenage Dirtbag" available, along with newer works.

Brainfest, the annual benefit concert to raise awareness and donations for the American Brain Tumor Association, will be held at Broken Goblet Brewing on Saturday, May 25.
