Hot Water Music to Headline Benefit Tour
Sub Pop and Asian Man Records have joined forces to bring you one of the summer's biggest and most charitable tours. The Plea for Peace/Take Action Tour features Hot Water Music and a bunch of other crazy bands, including the Alkaline Trio, Selby Tigers, Cave-In, Zero Zero, and Strike Anywhere. Proceeds from the tour will benefit the National Hopeline Network (1-800-SUICIDE), with 15% of the revenue from each show going to the charity.
In addition to the tour, a Plea for Peace/Take Action CD is in stores today, featuring 28 tracks, mostly rare, live, or unreleased, from 28 different artists. 5% of those sales will also go to the charity.
