Punk band makes big money in Canada by winning the Polaris prize
Now it is very unusual for a band such as this to win the prize which is actually equivalent to Britains mercury prize. The band name itself it rather obscene as they go by F***ed up. The band are actually going to be doing something very good with this money.
Although band were banned from MTV afer apprently causing a near riot by wrecking a bathroom and provoking people. They are not keeping it for themselves, are not spending it on booze, fags and drugs but doing something rather honourable with the money. They are off to make a benefit album to raise the awareness about the hundreds of missing aboriginal women in Canada.
The Sisters in Spirit already strive to raise the awareness as literally hundreds have been reported missing or murdered. They fight to provide them with the rights that any human being should have and ask why the rate of women that are going missing has actually been on the rise. The yhave also been going around to see if there have been any trends with the women that are being taken.
So although the bands front man loves to strip down to his pants and smash bottles over his head it just goes to show that the man does care about the people of his country (will pay out a lot of money that he and his band worked for) rather than keep it ri use themselves.
Canads is a very nice place to taker a vacartion at. Whether it is going to be an Alaskan cruise or just the holidays in Canada there is something for everyone. Of course if you do not like relaxing on holiday or want to take the family on a trip why not check out villas in Florida.
