The Morning Benders - Japan Echo EP

The Morning Benders are the latest musical act to support Japan. Following the recent earthquake and tsunami, the band is releasing an EP that features remixes from Star Slinger, Wild Nothing and Twin Sister. 100% of all proceeds from the sale of the EP will be given to the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund. Here is a statement from the Berkeley quartet’s lead singer Chris Chu:

“Last week we were scheduled to go to Tokyo to play our first show ever in Japan. It was going to be a very special trip for us, and for me in particular. I had always dreamt of going back to Japan to play music. Not many people know this, but I was actually born in Japan, and although I only lived there for a couple of years, I’ve always had a deep love for the country and its people. I cannot express how sad and helpless I’ve felt reading about everything that is happening there right now, and even though we couldn’t be there, we wanted to do everything we could to help. We love you Japan.”
