Speaking in the introduction to the special video, Maraschino and Jimmy Whispers say, “Why Synthmas? Well, cos the holidays suck! But synths are cool, they rule. They’re very cool all the time.”
Those who tune in are encouraged to donate to Alexandria House, an LA-based charity that provides safe and supportive housing for women and children in the process of moving to permanent housing from emergency shelter, and Save Our Stages.
Watch ‘SYNTHMAS’ below.
