Mink says, "F*ck Fur"! September 12, 2007

If you haven't heard of the band Mink yet, you will very, very soon—mark my words! This weekend, I had the great pleasure of meeting up with the band, and a great time was had by all! The band played the NorVA opening for the, yes THE, Jane's Addiction hero, Perry Ferrell and his Satellite Party.

Mink, who recently opened for another great, Tom DeLonge and Angels And Airwaves during their Australian tour, are not only set to take the music scene by storm, but they're ready to raise awareness about issues that are important to them. Neil, Stella, Nick, Louis, and Grant said they always take the opportunity to use their name to educate people on the fact that animals should not be slaughtered for their fur. And as the band so eloquently states, "THE ONLY MINK YOU SHOULD OWN, SHOULD BE ON YOUR IPOD!"

I brought along some of our "Mean People Wear Fur" tees for everyone and it was time to par-tae...

I was absolutely giddy to see that Neil even decided to wear his spiffy new tee on stage that night when Mink rocked their hearts' out at the NorVA...




Check out the band's MySpace for tour dates, and to catch a ton of behind the scenes footage from the tour. The band is documenting their travels along the way for your viewing pleasure, and may I ask that you pay extra close attention to the F*** Fur blog and Day #33 video . Yours truly makes a special appearance.

Cheers, m'dears!
