In an effort of goodwill that is catching-on in the music community, The Morning Benders have released an EP, titled Japan Echo, with all proceeds going towards the relief effort to help battered Japan after a 9.0 earthquake and massive tsunami stuck a couple weeks back. Chris Chu released this statement about the disc:
“Last week we were scheduled to go to Tokyo to play our first show ever in Japan. It was going to be a very special trip for us, and for me in particular. I had always dreamt of going back to Japan to play music. Not many people know this, but I was actually born in Japan, and although I only lived there for a couple of years, I’ve always had a deep love for the country and its people. I cannot express how sad and helpless I’ve felt reading about everything that is happening there right now, and even though we couldn’t be there, we wanted to do everything we could to help. We love you Japan.”
