Pixies and Courtney Barnett to release pink records for cancer charity

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Keys and My Chemical Romance are also contributing.

Ten artists/bands will release records on pink vinyl in aid of the annual Ten Bands One Cause, which raises funds and awareness for Gilda’s Club NYC. The charity offers a free program including support groups, educational lectures and workshops to support cancer patients and their families.

This year’s project includes seven limited edition album reissues: Anthrax’s For All Kings, the Black Keys’ Chulahoma, Courtney Barnett’s Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, Ed Sheeran’s X, Jim Breuer and the Loud & Rowdy’s Songs From the Garage, My Chemical Romance’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, NOFX’s First Ditch Effort, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ The Getaway. These releases drop on September 27th.

The three remaining titles are brand new albums by Opeth, Pixies (both due on 30 September) and NOFX (due on 7 October).
