LSO ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Emma Java) - ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS (RCPM) and The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that they have teamed up to raise funds for children's healthcare at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and
Phoenix Children Hospital by donating all proceeds from the sale of their "D-backs Swing" song that is digitally downloaded on their Web site throughout the month of June. The D-backs will match the funds collected from the song downloads and then donate the money to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and
Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Diamondbacks fans can start purchasing "D-backs Swing" for 99 cents starting tomorrow at AZPeacemakers.com.
The D-backs chose ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS last season to create "D-backs Swing," a feet-stomping and hand clapping anthem that was played at every game at Chase Field starting last September during the club's march for the National League West Division championship. The song has been so popular with fans that the D-backs have adopted "D-backs Swing" as their victory song and play it after every win at Chase Field this season and FSN Arizona is using it in the network's D-backs game promos this season as well.
"The goal of bringing together the community and the D-backs' fan base appealed to me when writing 'D-backs Swing' last summer because it matched what our philosophy is as a band," said RCMP front man ROGER CLYNE. "We are excited that we are going to step further by insuring funds are raised for children's health care."
CLYNE and the band's drummer, P.H. NAFFAH, visited children with D- backs first baseman Conor Jackson at Phoenix Children's Hospital this morning. NAFFAH's six-year-old daughter received treatment at Phoenix Children's Hospital this winter and Jackson visits regularly with children at PCH and St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.
Arizona's own ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS are a searing rock and roll foursome that have achieved independent recording success and fierce fan loyalty. The band is fronted by ROGER CLYNE and includes drummer P.H. NAFFAH, lead guitarist STEVE LARSON and bassist NICK SCROPOS. They are one of the most popular touring bands today and their music is praised by critics nationwide with every album release. RCPM are the only independent band to debut in the Top 10 of Billboard's Internet Sales chart with six consecutive albums, including two No. 1 entries. The band released their latest album, Turbo Ocho, earlier this year.
ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS will return to Chase Field again this season to play a post-game concert following the 5:10 p.m. game against the Kansas City Royals on June 14. The concert is free with a ticket to that night's game courtesy of Miller Brewing Company, Fry's Food & Drug Stores, 93.3 KDKB and The Edge 103.9.
