HELPING OUT MAUI

Mark and the Raiders played on Maui for extended periods in the very early days, and Mark and his wife Deb lived there for 8 years beginning in the mid-90s. They are heartbroken for the people of the island and the personal losses they have suffered, as well as irreplaceable pieces of royal Hawaiian history, and of course, the destruction of iconic Lahaina Town.

Mark immediately launched an effort to help by donating all of the sales of the Raiders' Greatest Hits CD to the Maui Food Bank and The Maui Humane Society (where Mark and Deb adopted 3 cats - Matthew, Monet, and KeaLani), raising almost $3000 immediately.

Beginning on 8/19, he expanded the effort to a larger collection of items to benefit Maui, with donations ranging from 10-100% of the sales (specifics on each item's page.)

Please check out MAUI BENEFIT on this site and maybe do some early Christmas shopping? Thanks for helping if you can!

HELPING OUT JESSE MALIN

Fellow musician, and all around good guy, Jesse Malin suffered a life-altering spinal stroke in May, and like many people, we're trying to help him on his road to recovery and rehabilitation. All of the proceeds of this CD, which includes a performance of Mark Lindsay with Los Straitjackets on TREAT HER RIGHT, are being donated to Jesse's fund at SWEET RELIEF. And just this week, we've come across a very interesting piece of memorabilia, which we've put up for auction to benefit Jesse. It's not an authentic award, but pretty cool nonetheless, and would look great on your wall, especially knowing it helped make someone's life just a little bit better. The auction also includes a phone call from Mark. You can check out the CD HERE and the auction HERE. Thanks for helping if you can.

SILVER BIRD and THE GRAY MAN MOVIE

Mark's 1970 hit single SILVER BIRD is in the new mega-budget Netflix movie THE GRAY MAN, starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, and Julia Butters. Based on The Gray Man novels by Mark Greany (available HERE), the movie uses Mark's song in two pivotal scenes, and shows his name on its picture sleeve as well. The song's important placements in the movie has resulted in massive exposure for it, according to Screen Crush: "The movie was among the top ten films on Netflix in 93 different countries including Austria, Panama, Luxembourg, Egypt, Kenya, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Morocco, and of course the United States. Of those 93 countries, it was the #1 film in 84 different nations." It began streaming on Netflix on July 22nd.

So far, Silver Bird has hit #1 on Billboard's LyricFind Global chart, #3 on iTunes Rock chart, and #46 on iTunes All-Genre chart. Check out the movie trailer below, and be sure to catch it on Netflix!

AN EVENING WITH QUENTIN TARANTINO AND FRIENDS

Mark joined Quentin Tarantino and rock critic David Wild on stage at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on October 2, 2019 to discuss the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood Soundtrack. Quentin is a big ML/Raider fan, which he proved by being able to sing the opening to "I Don't Want Nobody To Lead Me On" (from the Goin' To Memphis LP), discuss "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" (from Here They Come), and heap praise on Mark's and Michael Lewis' score for Shogun Assassin...which you'll hear as part of a TV scene in his Kill Bill 2.

In case the evening couldn't get more surreal, Wu-Tang Clan (who sampled the Shogun Assassin score heavily in their critically acclaimed Liquid Swords project), joined Mark back in the green room, where he and RZA discussed the myriad of synthesizers used in the original score. Check out the Los Angeles Times for the full review.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD Movie and Soundtrack

Mark is extremely honored to have four Raider songs included in Quentin Tarantino's new blockbuster movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. When you see the movie, you'll hear Good Thing (written by Mark with Terry Melcher), which was also used extensively in the movie trailers. In addition, Hungry (Mann-Weil), It's Happening [Happening 68] and Mr Sun Mr Moon (both written by Mark) are all featured, with the latter two songs being part of a vintage Raiders' performance video clip from the Happening TV show co-hosted by Mark. Three of the songs (Good Thing, Hungry, and Mr Sun Mr Moon) are included on the official movie soundtrack.
