Description
White Hills have recently completed a mammoth 2 month tour which saw them circumnavigate Europe twice, firstly on their own and then repeating the process supporting Mudhoney.
White Hills are a hardworking, hard touring space rock band who are yet to gain the recognition they deserve........but it's coming, mark our words. Their crowds are growing, their tracks are getting more and more plays and it's only a matter of time before White Hills hit the big time.
White Hills have recently released their new album and whilst touring sold tour only editions on purple vinyl. We are lucky enough to have been given 5 signed copies of this amazing limited edition album to sell to raise money for the Smoeff - Mambo Music Project. Thank you White Hills for your generous donation.

All kids should play is just a name. It represents a few people and organisations who try to send a container with musical equipment to Tanzania and then later in the year invite a few musicians to come and host a few workshops with children and mentally handicapped people. It will take place in a little village called Mambo, Lushoto in the Usambara mountains. There is already an organisation who have been there permanently for 6 years called MamboViewPoint (www.mamboviewpoint.org <http://ww.mamboviewpoint.org/>). They built a lodge and with that basis they do all kinds of development projects in the field of education, healthcare, water, roads and bridges, farming and much more. One of the early guests of the lodge was Gijs, a dutch guy who fell in love with the area and the views that are one of a kind. Within two days he committed to start a circus activity with children of the village (1500 out of the 5000 villagers are primary school kids). Almost 5 years later this project has become pretty successful, does performances in the lodge, the village and this january went on tour for the first time and did 7 shows in 3 days (and the kids got to see the sea for the first time in their lives). As it became so successful the idea was to extend the program with other arty forms and music was the first obvious thing that came to mind. Gijs runs a music equipment company in Holland called Smoeff and rents gear to mostly North American and Australian bands that come and tour Europe. Every year about 200 bands are playing equipment supplied by Smoeff. Already for a few years Smoeff is donating about 4000-5000 for various projects in Mambo. To finance sending a container full of equipment to Tanzania we ask a lot of the bands that Smoeff works with to donate 5 records and sign them. Then we sell them on eBay.de one by one. All the proceeds minus eBay/PayPal expenses goes in the fund. We think we need about 5000 euro. The musicians who come and do the project at the end of the year will not be paid out of this fund. They will finance their own flights, transportation, food and lodging….
For whoever is lucky enough to buy this please be aware that we are collecting money for a musical project as explained underneath. We try to do this with as little costs as possible. For people within the eurozone this means paying by bank incurs the least costs. Paypal is subtracting about 7-8% of what you pay and when we put it from PayPal in our bankaccount, it is costing us another almost 5%. So ebay and paypal costs together is close to 25%. So please lets talk about payment before paying.
Thanks!
Apart from White Hills we also have signed records from Patrick Watson, Screaming Females, Lightning Bolt, Versus the World and Wire on sale right now.
