Thank you to the amazing Japanese fans - you are beautiful, so cool, and generous. Fuji Rocks is the most delightful, clean, conscious and stimulating music festival we have ever been to and we feel terribly honoured to have been a part of it. Thank you to everyone at Avex and SMASH for making our first trip to Japan so special. We’ll never forget the experience! MINK

MINK BACK ON THE ROAD FOR HARD ROCK AND MUSICIANS ON CALL

Mar 2, 2008

MINK are teaming up with HARD ROCK INTERNATIONAL during the month of March 2008. MINK will be performing at select Hard Rock Café locations across the country to help raise money and awareness for Musicians On Call, Hard Rock’s selected charity for their MARCH ON STAGE program, a global live music series by high-caliber iconic and emerging artists.

MINK and HARD ROCK plan to make a massive impact for the nonprofit that helps deliver the healing power of music to patients in health care facilities across the country. 100% of all door proceeds for the shows booked during this time will be given to the charity.

Neal, says “We couldn’t be happier doing this Hard Rock Café tour, in part because we’ll get to play the songs off our debut album, but also because it’s raising money for the Musicians On Call charity.”

“We are truly excited to add such a talented artist as MINK to Hard Rock’s March on Stage concert lineup to benefit Musicians on Call,” says Romy Mehlman, Regional Marketing Director, Hard Rock International. “MINK joins several of today’s hottest artists for March on Stage, and we are thrilled to see such tremendous support for this great cause.”

Mink’s Little Playlist	Jan 14, 2008
Hey everyone! Make sure you check out our recently added playlist for IMEEM. It was recorded in a girl’s bathroom in San Fransisco, which is by no means indicative of the quality of the music. It was a tough choice but I think it’s an emotional and erotic mix. Hope you enjoy: MINK on IMEEM If you’re not our friend on imeem yet, what on Earth is stopping you? x Stella/MINK

HAPPY NEW YEAR!	Jan 1, 2008
Mink would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope to see you all in 2008! -MINK
