MMA-fightern och pro-wrestlern Josh Barnett har inte bara starka personliga kopplingar till Japan, han är också hårdrockare in i benmärgen. I går, den 26 maj arrangerade Barnett en metalkonsert i Hollywood vars intäkter gick till katastrofhjälp.
Så här presenterade Barnett sin idé om showen:
”Everyone by now is aware of the recent devastation suffered by Japan and it’s people from the earthquakes, tsunami and even radiation issues. As someone who has been working and even sometimes living in Japan I felt compelled to try and help in whatever way I could. One phone call and small idea turned into many and a big concert at the House of Blues in Hollywood, “The Sun Forever Rising.” The media may have moved on to royal weddings and celebrity gossip, but I and others haven’t forgotten about those still struggling across the Pacific.
Many great people have come together to help make this a reality and I am very proud to present not only an amazing show, but all for a great cause. The Red Cross has given me their endorsement and all the net proceeds will be going to them. Every single cent I can raise I want to put to use to help a country mend its wounds.
Being as metal as I am, a heavy metal concert just made the most sense! Headlining will be All Shall Perish with Animals As Leaders, Cattle Decapitation, Abysmal Dawn, Internal Corrosion, and Thrown Into Exile.
If you can, please come out, show your support and rock out with us. If not then you can still help by donating to the Red Cross and donating to “Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami.”
