The band wants to mark the ten-year anniversary of Origin Of Symmetry by playing the album in full for the last time. “It’s probably the last time some of these songs will ever be played live again,” he said, explaining that the performances would include the band “drawing a line under one phase of our career”.
The Morning Benders Release New EP for Japan
To help raise money for the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund, The Morning Benders have released Japan Echo EP featuring remixes from Star Slinger, Wild Nothing, and more. 100% of proceeds will be donated. Download and donate here.
“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.
xo,
Chris”
