Free the Birds Paramore Birdhouse Charity Auction

Abolition International and Free the Birds have teamed up with celebrities to create a unique fundraiser that raises awareness of sex trafficking in the United States.  Artists such as Paramore, The Fray, Grace Potter, and even actress Nicole Kidman have created birdhouses that are now on auction.

Paramore personally designed and decorated the birdhouse that you see on your left. All proceeds from the auction will go to Abolition International, who will use the money to assist victims of sex trafficking in their recovery.

The auction ends May 24th. To place a bid on the band’s birdhouse or to learn more about Abolition International and their auctions, click here.

Denver, Colorado

After a day’s rest, Paramore was ready to get back to it. Tuesday’s show was at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado. The band is plenty familiar with the venue; Hayley jokingly reminisced on Twitter that a fan had once crawled through the air ducts to meet them.

The trio kept their ninety minute set with no changes to the setlist. The crowd warmed up with old favorites “Misery Business,” “For A Pessimist,”  and “Decode.” In honor of the fans in Salt Lake City, Hayley lead the crowd in a chant of “SLC.” A little over half way through the show, fans still kept it up with an extended performance of “Whoa.” Several fans were pulled onstage to help out with “Anklebiters.” Paramore closed with  an encore of “Proof” and “Brick By Boring Brick.”
