Dear LegendaryTones Readers,

All of us have felt numerous emotions surrounding the BP Gulf spill tragedy. Even with the cap fitted on the oil well, it remains an enormous cleanup effort and many organizations like the National Wildlife Federation and Audubon society are working tirelessly to take care of the impacted wildlife in the region. To people outside of these organizations, the task at hand seems so large, so distant, and yet we wonder about what we can do to help.

My band Luxx thought about this and together we wrote the song “Black Water” as a response to express our group’s own frustration over the tragedy. And through the song, we've decided to take yet another step forward – turning a negative situation into whatever we could to play a positive role in the clean up efforts.

This is why Luxx is making “Black Water” available for sale on ReverbNation today and will donate ALL of the net proceeds between the National Wildlife Federation and Audubon Society. The members of Luxx remain passionate about the cleanup efforts and will continue this campaign as long as help is needed.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We hope that you will join us in contributing to this worthwhile cause.

All the Best!

David Szabados

P.S. I'll cover the guitar gear used for recording "Black Water" in a future story here at LegendaryTones. Needless to say, I went for a big and heavy guitar sound/tone for this one!
 

“Black Water” is available today to download at the band's ReverbNation Luxx store at: http://www.reverbnation.com/store/index/artist_876982

Bay Area Musicians Launch Campaign to Clean Wildlife Impacted by Gulf Disaster

CUPERTINO, Calif. – July 26, 2010 – As the world watches the events unfold of the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, bay area rock group Luxx has launched a creative campaign to help clean up the gulf.

The group has written a song, “Black Water” and made it available on ReverbNation today for download. All 100% of the net proceeds of the single's sales (just 99 cents per download on secure payment site) will go toward helping the impacted wildlife in the gulf. Contributions will be divided between two organizations that are actively involved in the effort: the National Wildlife Federation and the Audubon Society.

“The size and scale of the gulf disaster are so large, one can feel helpless wondering about how to make a difference,” said David Szabados, spokesman and guitarist for Luxx. “But the truth of the matter is that taking action is the key. The National Wildlife Federation and Audubon Society are working tirelessly to help the creatures in need and it’s imperative that we do whatever we can to support them. We hope this is the easiest 99 cents anyone will ever spend to support this cause.”

“Black Water” is available today to download at the band's ReverbNation Luxx store at http://www.reverbnation.com/store/index/artist_876982
