Invisible Children, Polyphonic Spree Unite For Uganda

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Non-profit Invisible hildren invited members of The Polyphonic Spree and The Very Best to Gulu, Uganda this winter to participate in a documentary on Joseph Kony's 27-year war. The group witnessed the effects of the LRA insurgency and the efforts to rehabilitate the infrastructure firsthand.

During their stay, the band shot a series of performances for La Blogotheque, collaborating with the Gulu High School Choir on a special performance of "Hold Me Now" from 'Together We're Heavy' and "Raise Your Head" from their upcoming album 'Yes, It's True.' Invisible Children plans to include this footage in the documentary film, which will celebrate "the human connection through the universal language of music."

"The interaction with the Acholi people was an experience of a lifetime," said Polyphonic Spree's Tim Delaughter. "They're extremely spirited and happy people. It was something I will never forget. Their eagerness to learn our music and the quickness of them learning it was extremely gratifying."

The Polyphonic Spree will release 'Yes, It's True,' its first studio album of original material, on May 28.
