The Black Halos To Drop New Charity Single Honouring Chi Pig

Vancouver based punk n’roll icons The Black Halos are releasing a new single, Ain’t No Good Time To Say Goodbye, which followed the sad passing of SNFU frontman Chi Pig last month. Halo’s frontman Billy Hopeless has said this about putting the song together:

“How do you reach closure when you lose not only an inspiring and amazing artist, but someone who’s been a very personal part of your day-to-day irregular life for so many years? Well I tried to write an anthem singalong to cheer myself and everyone up, but it was just a bandage or mask for my real feelings. Rich, hearing this, tore it off and poured out some disinfectant guitar my way and as it stung true I found myself writing the lyrics and crying in the grocery store. There will never be another – and there never was anyone truly like Chi Pig. He was unique and I’m honoured for having him in my life. Just know this; whether you cry or smile when you think of him it’s because he reached you. And you should never let go of that.”

The B-side is a blistering cover of the SNFU classic Rusty Rake and  and all proceeds from the vinyl and digital single will be donated to the fundraising campaign to create a larger than life mural of Chi Pig in his home town of Edmonton. The tracks will not be appearing on any streaming services, links to buy (from release date) are belo: 

Ain’t No Good Time to Say Goodbye / Rusty Rake is available  Friday 7th August via Yeah, Right! Records.
