support a good cause

Encountering merchandise obsessed fans adorned with T-shirts championing their favourite act is something we all come to expect from the gigging process. But this is a little different...

Acts like Kasabian, The Flaming Lips, Soulwax and The Bronx have teamed up with Playboy to put their own err..."personal stamp on the Playboy brand and logo."

Unfortunately Kasabian aren't going to be dressing up in bunny costumes and hanging around Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion just yet. But they have submitted their own design for a limited edition T-Shirt, which is one of several that will appear in a six page spread in Playboy’s annual Sex and Music Special Issue, due out in March (I'm sure you all allready knew that).

The good news, and hears an excuse for the lads, is that all proceeds are going to the AIDs charity LIFEbeat: The Music Industry Fights AIDs. So there you go, buy some porn, it's for a good cause.
