The
Los Angeles Youth Network (
LAYN) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization based on helping over 10,000 homeless adolescents become self-sufficient by providing shelter, food, and counseling for the abused, neglected, and abandoned.
In a recent interview with
ARTISTdirect.com,
Slash stated about his involvement with
LAYN Rocks!, "My wife,
Perla, and I support
LAYN. She's actually on the board. We're trying to raise money to keep it going, and we've been doing these
'Slash & Friends' gigs recently. Basically, we get a bunch of people together and put on a concert.
Perla had asked me if I'd be interested in doing it to support
LAYN, and I was fully into it! This will actually be the first
'Slash & Friends' gig I've done in Los Angeles. Basically, I wanted to put together something that would be a really big blowout, and that's what we've done!"
