[edit] Ghostly Life
The band took a long time to make their first full-length album, Ghostly Life, because members were on tour with Damien Rice in 2003, Our Lady Peace in 2005, and also took time out to record and tour with other artists. The album is inspired by "art, politics, love, hate, life, loneliness, chaos, and good Scotch".
[edit] Pedestrian Music Fund
Pedestrian donates 10% of all online sales of their merchandise to a charity of fans' choosing. The band has an online community called Act, where people can vote on which charity gets the money that's been collected.
The first donation was $500 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on December 31, 2006.
