Future Islands is coming to bat for its Baltimore roots with an eBay charity auction featuring memorabilia straight from frontman Samuel T. Herring's living room… literally.
The auction, which ends May 17 at 11:36 a.m. (ET), features the Converse high-tops Herring wore on the band's April 28 Letterman performance, Letterman's cue cards from that show, and a print of the art from the 2011 album On the Water, signed by the band and artist Elena Johnston. The description explains, "Sam's cat jumped on the poster when he signed it, so there's a slight crease on the print towards the bottom, but (it's) not very noticeable."
