VIDEO: Staind rock Jimmy Kimmel

Staind’s new self-titled album is now in stores.

The band will mark the release by performing a special concert in New York City to benefit the families of 9/11 victims.

The show will be held at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square on September 15.

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, tickets to the show are priced at $9.11, with all revenue from the show to benefit the families of 9/11 victims. Atlantic Records will match Staind's donation from ticket sales for a separate additional donation to the charity.

"As the release of our new album coincides with the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we wanted to use the attention to make the point that there is still much work for all of us to do," said Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind. "We are deliberately making the ticket price $9.11 to underscore the point that if enough of us do just a little bit, together we can make a big difference in the lives of the families whose members made the supreme sacrifice for our country."

Fans who can’t make it to the show will be able to stream the concert live on the band’s website here courtesy of Ustream.

Staind rocked Jimmy Kimmel’s show Tuesday night with a couple of tracks from the new disc.
