Look Good, And Help Jimmy from Brighten Go to Africa In the Process


Even though I’m a no good, selfish waste of space, I am lucky enough to count among my associates more than a few men of unabashed kindness and dedication to the cause of helping their fellow man. One of the foremost among these is the homie Jimmy Richards, drummer of the insanely badass Brighten and more recently, artist responsible for some of the band shirts in your closet. Last summer he journeyed to a war torn region of Africa to spread the WORD and this summer he’s looking to do the same, alongside another friend, colleague and hero of a man, Chad Whitehead aka Chad SLC, whose bunk beds are legendary amongst the touring circuit. However, in order to make it back, they need to raise $3000. This is where you come in. Jimmy has designed a shirt, shown above, and made it for sale on his website, Junion Kickstart, the proceeds of which will finance the trip to Uganda. Go buy it. Buy 2. Buy me one and send it to me in the mail. Size Large. And while you’re at it buy a couple Brighten records too, just for good measure.
