Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek Benefits West Memphis Three

12/09/2008
. (PR) Mark Kozelek will be auctioning autographed items to raise money for the defense fund of three wrongfully-imprisoned Arkansas men. Damien Echols (who is on death row), Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr.�also known as the West Memphis Three (www.wm3.org) �were convicted for murdering three elementary school children in 1994.

Mark Kozelek, of Sun Kil Moon and his earlier band, Red House Painters, has gained praise for his extraordinary songwriting. Following Kozelek's April 2008 release comes his December 9th release of The Finally LP. Kozelek has been a long-time supporter of the West Memphis Three.

"I usually don't get involved in a benefit unless the cause is really important to me. I've been following the case as much as I can since the HBO debut of Paradise Lost," said Kozelek. "These guys are innocent, and unfortunately, represent just a few of many arrested, convicted, jailed, and sometimes executed for crimes they didn't commit."

The auctions will last until December 18th. You can bid on Kozelek's Tiny Cities LP, April CDs, Ghosts of the Great Highway CDs, Little Drummer Boy CDs, Nights of Passed Over Lyric Books, rare 4-LP set White Christmas & Little Drummer Boy Live, European concert poster, and Japanese April CDs. All items are autographed by Mark Kozelek.

For further information about the Mark Kozelek autographed items and to place a bid, log on to www.sunkilmoon.com or www.skeletonkeyauctions.com.
