Ginger & Friends

A download only charity compilation launches today to raise money for the relief efforts following the Earthquake in Haiti.

Upon arriving back in the UK a few weeks ago at Heathrow (and being a little too wrapped up in seemingly important things like whether the plane would land in the snow or if my train would be running) I was immediately greeted and numbed by the horrific and shocking news reports that followed after the Haiti Earthquake. As the magnitude of the disaster continues to grow by the day, I was very keen (like most people) to do ’something’.

Thus The Haiti Project – a charity download album – was born. Within a few days of sending emails and calls to my nearest and dearest friends an album quite literally ‘came together’.

The album is spearheaded by the anthemic debut track from The Sonic Graffiti, a new band from LA put together by Ginger, Billy Morrison, Michael Butler & Scott Lipps. The track entitled Mystery Number was recorded at Matt Sorum’s studio in August 2009 & was produced by the legendary Mike Clink.

I’d like to personally say a big thankyou to Ginger, Billy, Michael, Scott & Mike for donating this exclusive track, and allowing The Haiti Project to (hopefully) raise even more money.

An exclusive new song ‘Black Windows’ from Ginger’s forthcoming album Yoni is now on MySpace. Says Ginger: “It’s unmastered right now, but I couldn’t wait for everyone to hear new drummer Denzel tearing the living shit out of his drum kit. Check this guy out, he’s sick.

Please let the world know, and tell them all to tell someone else!”
