Since my recent post about Raine Maida busking in 2007 to raise money to build a school in the Congo, he's only been up to it again. This time with his band Our Lady Peace who, along with many other Canadian musicians, took to the street of Toronto on Thursday to raise money for War Child Canada. Students from across Canada were also busking for change on campus.
Busking for change was inspired by Raine's efforts last October. Check out a fan video of 'Clumsy' that was played on Thursday:
"We've gone about this recording process much differently than any album we've made before. For one, we chose not to work with an outside producer. Collaboration has always been essential to art, especially music, but we felt we needed to keep the collaboration between to the 4 of us. We were very curious to see how the music would end up without any outside influence. "Trust ourselves".... that was the mantra. Safe to say the songs we've recorded so far have been some of the most special and rewarding pieces of music the band has ever put to tape."
