Eagles of Death Metal, who were on stage at Le Bataclan when gunmen opened fire just last November, have produced a craft beer to help victims of the Paris terror attacks.
The beer, dubbed 'Boots Electric India Pale Ale', is being produced by a Canadian brewery - Manantler Brewing Co, and its first run sold-out quickly following Eagles of Death Metal's shows in the area.
The National Post has reported that a dollar of each bottle sold goes to its charity, The Sweet Stuff Foundation. Manantler told the National Post his company will brew another batch, which should be ready to drink in about three weeks.
And, when co-owner James Gorry spoke to the Toronto Star it was clear the band didn't need to much convincing to get on-board with the idea.

Gorry stated, "They didn't ask what size brewery we were or where we were...I think they liked the idea and they liked that we came up with it based on being musicians ourselves and being moved by the events that happened there, and also just ultimately being really big fans of Eagles of Death Metal."

In what is an incredible effort from the band, and the brewery, funds will be donated to The Sweet Stuff Foundation, which benefits families of the 130 people killed in the attack. The band continu to tour - despite their merchandise manager's death, and after being so close to the attack, in a brave display against the terrorism.
And, things got quite out of hand at a recent gig, where a man got his ear bitten off.
