Pray for LJ - by Pardon my Striptease

Chilliwack’s Pardon My Striptease is raising funds for their lead singer’s daughter.  “Pray (for LJ)” was released on iTunes December 5th and has since topped the rock chart and entered top 3 overall.

Proceeds from the sale of the single will go towards a local hospital. One-year old Lilee-Jean Putt, daughter of the band’s lead singer Andrew Putt, is currently battling an aggressive form of brain cancer. The band will give all proceeds to Lilee-Jean’s family, who decided to give 100% of the funds to the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

As you might expect from a less known rock band, the song has an amateur-ish quality to it, and it’s rough around the edges. It’s great to see it climb the charts here in Canada though, and I do wish LJ a fast recovery.
