#philanthrocky
Rock duo June IND launched the #philanthrocky music for a cause initiative in August 2020 to support Greater Lafayette, Indiana area organizations and make their music work for the community.
Each month through July 2022, all revenue from June IND’s music streams and sales will be given to a Greater Lafayette area organization addressing issues related to arts access, diversity, education, the environment, equality, homelessness, human rights, hunger, or social justice. Beneficiaries will be identified by causes linked to various awareness months throughout the year.
Chris from Lafayette rock band June IND and a special guest performed their favorite holiday song as part the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette’s Friday Night Live Chillin’ Out streaming concert
The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette hosted a thing called “Chillin’ Out,” billed as a special winter edition of the museum’s Friday Night Live. Among the performances during that online show: Chris June, a founder of Lafayette-based band June IND, and his son.
A cool thing happened last night and we want to say thanks. Our *gestures to everyone* #philanthrocky music for a cause initiative exceeded $3k in donations ($3,077 actually).
In August 2020, we launched the #philanthrocky music for a cause initiative to support Greater Lafayette, Indiana-area organizations during the pandemic.
Each month through July 2022, all June IND music sales and streams revenue supported issues related to arts access, diversity, education, the environment, equality, homelessness, human rights, hunger or social justice.
We’re going to guess some direct donations happened too and that’s great! These causes are important to us and we’re glad that they matter to you too.
Good vibes, stay safe and thanks for making our music work for the community.
-Chris and Emily

Lafayette-based band June IND took a new approach on its latest album, recording songs from the past decade as fresh instrumentals. “There Are No Words” – titled appropriately enough – came out Friday on the streaming sites, with proceeds from sales through Bandcamp going to Pride Lafayette through June.
On the first Friday of every month from March 2020 through December 2021 (and then some more in 2022), Bandcamp waived its revenue share to support artists. June IND passed the value on to Greater Lafayette area organizations addressing issues related to arts access, diversity, education, the environment, equality, homelessness, human rights, hunger and social justice. Bandcamp Fridays may be over, but June IND will continue these efforts through July 2022.
For June 3, 2022, June IND’s Bandcamp Friday sales will support Pride Lafayette for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month. Grab or gift June IND’s music today to support Pride Lafayette’s mission to educate and promote awareness of diversity, health, culture and acceptance of individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
