Charity gigs ...

... bands playing charity gigs to support that or the other has come under fire and bands have been abused to do "anything" to increase sales.

Digital Dreams members Caitriona Moran and Thomas "TJ" Janak are individually supporting numerous causes out of the goodness of their hearts. Since DD hasn't sold high volumes of their work we feel that we are not doing anything out of selfishness and we want to highlight what we're doing in the hope to inspire some of you to do the same.

Digital Dreams as a band has supported Artists against Terror (2001), Concert against poverty (1995 & 1996), Help save our pizzeria (1996,)HIV/AIDS help (1999) and Caitriona travels abroad this summer to build houses/schools for AIDS orphans, while TJ continues to support animal welfare and rights both as a volunteer in shelters and by giving free talks as well as via his radioshow.

Many artists do and have done a lot in the past and even if that helped to increase sales and raised their profiles - they still supported those who have less and we feel it is worth doing it.
