Indie and alternative artists have joined the fundraising campaign to support Earthquake and Tsunami hit Japan.
The Mountain Goats are auctioning a 2001 demo tape of an unreleased song called Eugene Sue recorded by band leader John Darnielle.
Darnielle explains: “The tape is dated 5/27/01, and is labeled “FRENETIQUES demos” on the spine, but that plural is deceptive: it has only one song on it. The song’s called “Eugene Sue.” I spent today trying to figure out why it’s called that, but no luck. Quick math tells me that this is the tape I had planned on making the next work-tape before I decided to write Tallahassee instead.”
Proceeds from the auction will go to the charity Doctors Without Borders. To bid for the tape click here.
