Bassist/vocalist talks "different sense of fulfillment" that side-project supergroup brings, what to expect from main band's new album
No Doubt's Tony Kanal, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, artist Shepard Fairey and tattoo artist Kat Von D will also provide pieces to the charity at auction, taking place February 8th at Smile + Wonder, a therapy center and preschool founded by At the Drive-In/Gone Is Gone member Tony Hajjar and his wife Nicole.
"We know how hard it is to raise a child," Tony Hajjar said in a statement. "And if there's a child that needs more help than others, we know how difficult that is, too. Smile + Wonder was created to help children reach their full potential."
Gone Is Gone, a supergroup featuring Hajjar, Sanders and Van Leeuwen, will also perform at the February art auction. Fans hoping to attend the auction and performance can enter a raffle for a chance to be among the 100 invitees to the event. Those not in attendance can also bid on the musicians' art via the Smile + Wonder site.
For the auction, Ament donated his "Study Of A Talking Head," a 36"x36" canvas with graphite, acrylic and oil pastels, while Mosshart contributed a painting titled "What the Fuck Are You Thinking."
