Pick up your copy of "Rebellion Politik" today. It's available on all major online stores right now. Carnage, Guante, Samosa and Dahr Jamail supported the evening. Thank you to the bands and to The Cedar for being down with taping.

Tracks coming soon from...

So the virus that my pc contracted last week has slowed me down a bit (along with work & being a bleeding human). With that said, full sets and or individual tracks from your favorite local bands are on their way. We're talking some No Bird Sing, Junkyard Empire, Guante & Big Cats!, Samosa, Carnage, Ela (reunited w/ original members), Roma di Luna (duo), Building Better Bombs, Communist Daughter, Big Trouble, Black Blondie and Kristoff Krane.

Enjoy the weekend. See you on the West Bank.

Dahr Jamail @ The Cedar

I have several recordings from the weekend to put out there but something that I'm most excited about is Dahr Jamail's reading from the Junkyard Empire EP Release show at The Cedar on Friday night. Dahr Jamail is an American journalist who has reported extensively on the Iraq War. Between 2003 and 2005 Jamail spent 8 months in Iraq publishing first hand accounts on his website, Dahr Jamail's Mideast Dispatches. As clichéd as this typically sounds over the interwebs it was a true honor to be able to meet this man and to hear him speak. A sincere thank you to Junkyard Empire and The Cedar for giving him a venue with which to address the Twin Cities. Jamail's new book, "The Will to Resist - Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan" is available now. It can be purchased locally at Mayday Books on the West Bank.

Please check out what Dahr had to share with us. Here's a 320kbps mp3. (Right Click > "Save Link As")
