OK Go And Bonerama Work To Benefit Hurricane Katrina Victims
OK Go and the New Orleans brass band Bonerama (featuring trombones) have recorded a five-song digital EP, "You're Not Alone," that will benefit members of the New Orleans' music community, many of whom continue to struggle to rebuild their homes and lives three years after Hurricane Katrina, according to a press release. The recording features re-interpretations of three tracks from OK Go's most recent album, "Oh No," as well as two cover tunes: David Bowie's "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released."
Proceeds from "You're Not Alone" will go to Sweet Home New Orleans, an organization dedicated to helping repatriate and support the thousands of local musicians who were scattered by Katrina, as well as building a new Habitat For Humanity home for Al "Carnival Time" Johnson, who has been forced to live in Houston, TX, since the hurricane.
The project was born when OK Go singer Damian Kulash teamed up with Bonerama to play a New Orleans benefit concert last year. They continue to play together live, generating additional funds for Katrina victims.
