Critically acclaimed and Salt Lake City queer-favorite, electro-indie duo, Uh Huh Her has set out on tour again, this time for a cause.The nonprofit Keep A Breast Foundation’s main objective is to raise awareness in young people about prevention, detection and support for breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. The foundation provides exposure through fundraising, art and music events, and educational programs in order to better educate young people and thwart the prevalence of breast cancer, the silent killer.

Notable people such as Tom Delonge of Blink-182, members of Circa Survive, four-time world champion surfer Lisa Anderson, Katy Perry and The Foo Fighters have participated; and partners such as the Vans Warped Tour, Zumiez, ROXY and The Quicksilver Foundation, The Keep A Breast Foundation is serious about educating the teenager and young adult demographics.

You may have recognized one of the Keep A Breast’s signature “I Heart Boobies” wristbands floating around town for the past few years now. October was National Breast Cancer Prevention month, and with Uh Huh Her’s release of their new album Nocturnes, they, with Fences and Jarrod Gorbel, have jumped in to support a great cause, and are now wrapping up their Keep A Breast Tour.The Keep A Breast Foundation and House of Blues Entertainment joined forces to make this tour possible. During the month of October, Keep A Breast and Uh Huh Her have been interacting directly with fans not only during their live shows, but also through interviews, videos and social media as a grassroots and community level popular movement to create awareness throughout the U.S. and Canada about breast cancer prevention.

Twice now Uh Huh Her has played Salt Lake City, and twice have they been surprised and delighted by the levels of energy and excitement that our humble town bring. Will Sartain of Urban Lounge noted that both times Uh Huh Her has come through, his venue has almost sold out, with a portion of those ticket sales, along with a portion the rest of the tour’s ticket sales, being donated to Keep A Breast.

Camila Grey of Uh Huh Her remarked, “I’ve chosen to become part of Keep A Breast because like many others I have been directly affected by breast cancer in my family. Luckily both my grandmothers are breast cancer survivors. I think awareness and education are so important in treating this disease because if detected early enough, chances of survival are greatly increase. I’m so happy to be a part of something that will reach young and old alike, and what better way than through music.”
