Limited Edition Pink Vinyl LP As Part Of Ten Bands One Cause Campaign!
Ten Bands re-issue their albums on limited edition pink vinyl, all for one cause. 2016 is the third year for the initiative that has helped raise $65,000 for GildaÂ’s Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. It is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who passed away from the disease at the age of 43 in 1989.
This yearÂ’s Limited Edition Pink Vinyl titles are from Anthrax, The Black Keys, Courtney Barnett, Ed Sheeran, Jim Breuer & The Loud & Rowdy, My Chemical Romance, NOFX, Opeth, Pixies and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The 11th studio album from the Red Hot Chili Peppers includes the single "Dark Necessities".
Production for the album actually began in 2014 but was put on hold for 8 months due to bassist Flea's broken arm after a snowboarding accident. The delay forced them to search for a different producer. They ultimately abandoned the previous songs and wrote new songs for the album at the request of producer Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse.
The album cover is by the artist Kevin Peterson. Anthony Kiedis in a 2016 interview with the Kevin and Bean show said, "Normally we get a little more high brow artsy, and this just felt extremely warm and human, even though itÂ’s animals, it felt human. And itÂ’s also us. Chad is the bear, Josh is the girl and Flea is the raccoon and me as the funny little raven out front."
