Former Swans leader Michael Gira will play a Feb. 10

benefit at New York's Bowery Ballroom for ex-Swans keyboardist and

singer Jarboe. Jarboe is scheduled for surgery for injuries

sustained in a recent bar fight in Israel in which Jarboe was

inadvertently hit with a flying chair, according to a spokesman for

Gira. Also on the benefit bill are spoken-word artist Maggie

Estep and Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell, who will DJ at the show.
