Please read our full statement:

GLENNO x PALM Collaboration - Australia Bushfire Relief Shirt.

In support of the bushfires in Australia, PALM are collaborating with GLENNO Art and releasing a preorder t-shirt. Once base costs are covered we will be donating all profits to WILDLIFE VICTORIA / WIRES for bushfire relief.

ORDER PERIOD: 17-24th Feb 2020

PALM has a great affinity with Australia & it is like a second home to us. Australia was the first country internationally that PALM ever played, & in 2012 we spent a month touring around all the states & territories. We have made so many great mates there & it is where our 5th member, Will, was born & raised. I wanted to do something to assist the bushfire recovery effort so after consulting with Will we decided to make this shirt. Will & Glenno have known each other for ages, & Glenno even designed a shirt for us for our last Australian tour. Unfortunately timing didn’t work out & the design went unused, so I really wanted to work with him on this project.

When we received the email with the design, Glenno added:

“There’s lots of TV vision of kangaroos escaping across the land. They are fast - unlike the koalas and tree-bound animals... Kangaroos may have been the only animals with any chance at all.
Some of these fires have moved at speeds of 60 kilometres an hour. I chose this because it shows a mother and joey kangaroo like ghosts - dead, but not defeated.”

NOT DEFEATED ＝ 決して負けない

We all have our day to day grind, but now more than ever we need to take a second to stop & think, even just a little. I sincerely hope that our small action can make a difference.

Australia is beautiful & harsh - both it’s landscape & people. Many communities have felt the harsher side of things more than ever with the recent & ongoing bushfires.

Although to varying degrees, both rural & city people have felt the effect of these raging & unprecedented fires.

Our government has done a pretty shitty job of taking any real action and it has been left to regular people to volunteer their time, money & skills to pick up the slack & protect our country - home to many unique flora, fauna & humans.

Aside from those on the frontline, many bands & artists have been donating proceeds from merch & relief shows. It is with both pride and embarrassment (that my own government refuses to do more) to announce that some of my dearest & darkest friends, PALM, from Osaka are releasing a t-shirt in collaboration with the one & only GLENNO - with all money raised going to bushfire relief.

Being no strangers to natural disasters, Toshi & PALM asked me to coordinate this fundraising collaboration with Glenno so that they could give back to a country and scene that they love & has always supported them.
