HIT IT AND QUIT IT- Feb. 28, 2011

In light of recent events in Canterbury this week's installment was a markedly more subdued affair. Recloose and Reggie Blount we're in-house playing some new stuff and an array of inspirational joints for the people of Christchurch and Canterbury in what we coined the 'Harbangers of Hope'. While the appeal may have a been a lil clumsy, all the music and sentiment came straight from the heart. We just hope a few Cantabrians* got a momentary dance in...
(*Note: Don't ask Americans to say 'Cantabrians'. You'll hear what we're talking about.)

Our sincere apologies for missing a crucial element of our impromptu Red Cross NZ Earthquake Relief pledge drive (we were told simply to instruct people to text '333' or '555'). If you choose to donate this way please include the word 'quake' in your text, it will result in a $3 or $5 donation to the NZ Red Cross.

Further donations can be made here---> www.redcross.org.nz

I guess the final thought here, also for people not in New Zealand, is to please maintain the level of support for the relief effort we've seen to this point. It will be a very long time until Canterbury can be rebuilt and return to a semblance of normalcy. In the meantime there have been many many people rendered homeless, jobless, having lost love ones with extreme trauma heaped onto their lives. Your thoughts, prayers, financial and spiritual support are a few ways you can help heal the damage inflicted on the hearts and souls of Canterbury.

Move on up Christchurch...
