A Sydney Band Are Using Their Latest Single To Help Out Female Skateboarders In Afghanistan
Some good news today.
First things first: Sydney band Bloods are very good and you should listen to them all the time. They dropped their killer debut album in October, they just got off a US tour supporting the Preatures, and they write bangers like this:
Turns out they do excellent shit outside of music, too. To make the film clip for their latest single, ‘What Do I Care’, Bloods teamed up with Skateistan, a non-profit that runs education and community programs for kids in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa, and has bred a small but growing group of young skateboarders in Kabul.
“As a band we don’t really make a great deal of money, so donating cash was hard, but we knew we could at least raise awareness. I got in touch with them as a fan, asking if they’d be up for collaborating and I’m so glad they knew who we were and were up for it,” Bloods singer MC says. “They had all this incredible footage they’d shot throughout their journey and basically said ‘go for it’.”
You can donate to Skateistan here, and you can see Bloods support Peaches at the Hi-Fi on May 8. Good times.
