PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING FRIENDS :/

Just over one month ago, I lost one of my best friends, Francisco Huesca, to a car crash, he was only 19 years old.

My band (that he used to be in) has released a pearl jam cover (thumbing my way) on iTunes,
EVERY penny earned from that single, as well as our other Album will go straight towards his family.
THey cannot currently afford a tombstone and it has been a month since his passing, we would like to help his mother get one.

Our band is called Fire EYed Cherry, just search us on iTunes and Thumbing My Way - A Tribute to Francisco Huesca will appear along with Almost live. THIS IS NOT an attempt to get our band exposure, we aren't asking for likes on facebook, we are only asking for donations via iTunes for him. Thats all.

Here is a video I made for him:

If anybody could donate it would mean the world to me, his family, and the rest of his friends. Thank you all.

    hey,

    you know what helps a lot, charity gigs where loads of local bands play for free and all of the door money after paying the venue goes to the charity of choice. In this case your friends family.

    I have seen it happen before and it's quite an easy way to get people together, get them to make some music in tribute and it will definitely feel like you are doing something positive.

    I hope you sell loads of the track on itunes, lovely idea and real sorry for your loss. 19 is no age

    That's really terrible news. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Like the previous post I think you can use music to turn this into something positive and help his family that way. Keep us updated if you decide to do a fundraiser, meanwhile I'll contribute something through iTunes as requested. Condolonces to to his family.... :(
