Leading figures in the music industry are coming together for two benefit albums, "Los Angeles Rising" and "Good Music to Lift Up Los Angeles," following devastating wildfires that affected many in the area. These compilations feature unreleased tracks and contributions from renowned artists including Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The project originated from the experiences of Kevin Haskins and Nick Launay, who were forced to evacuate. Their initiative has drawn an inspiring response from the music community, showcasing solidarity in the face of tragedy.
"Nick and I both reached out to every musician [and] band that we know and Nick Cave and PJ Harvey were the first to respond... it has been a very heartwarming and inspiring experience."
"I took my garden hose and soaked my yard and decks, and then took off... it was very stressful and I ended up in grid lock traffic getting through Hollywood."
"The project led by Bauhaus' Kevin Haskins and record producer Nick Launay is the fruit of tragedy... many musicians and friends in the city faced the destruction of their beloved homes."
