After 10 years, beloved power pop band Visqueen are breaking up–they play their last show next Saturday, November 26th, at the Neptune. And because it’s Thanksgiving weekend, and because the band is so thankful to all the fans who’ve supported them over the years, the show is a benefit for Youthcare and the Northwest Harvest, so your ticket money goes to some very good causes.

Visqueen was kind enough to stop by the station one last time to co-host the show. Here are the songs they played:

Visqueen – “Fight For Love”
Broadcast Oblivion – “False Stars for Broken Heart”
Purrs – “Only Dreaming”
Cristina Bautista – “The Cyrkle (Champion)”
Visqueen – “Vaxxine”
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet hereafter – “Pleasuring the Divine”
Bill Patton – “Alchemy”
Kristy Cameron – “The Pony Song”
Broadcast Oblivion – “They Live”
The Decemberists – “The Perfect Crime #2″

You can buy tickets to their last show here.
