11/28: Revolutionary Hip-Hoppers Testament and Illogik @ the Flying Squirrel Community Space
Primary tabs
Coming to Rochester all the way from London, Ontario, Canada--TESTAMENT and Illogik!
(From Testament's myspace) "My lyrics are bricks I use to shatter apathy and the status quo. Wether I'm spittin to a live DJ scratchin, acapella spoken word style, a beat-boxer on the street, or a punk-rock drum beat, I never pull punches or shy away from spreading confrontational dissent through powerful, thought-provoking rhymes. I'm here to change hip-hop and steal its soul back from the glorified violence, materialism, sexism, and racism that the music industry creates promotes and markets for their own capitalist purposes. The revolution will not be signed to a record deal... DIY or die." http://www.myspace.com/testamenthiphop
(From Illogik's myspace) - "in an age of universal deceit telling the truth
is a revolutionary act. the days are late but still i stand tall, stand
tall against the lies, in this world the time for revolution is near,
but not yet here. instead we must plant the seeds and water and care
for them so when the crash comes we will be ready, ready to resist. my
music fits into this infowar, take a proper gander at my propaganda.
they're saying choose your side, so that's how i'm playing it, and i
choose the side of life, i choose to fight against those killing our
world and people. freedom is the only option, fighting is what's left,
till the last breath and death. everyone dies, so what you do between
now and then is what matters. bring down the empire the fire the words
a flint/i'll see you on the front page of the last paper these fuckers
ever print." - http://www.myspace.com/illtothalogik

4-6PM @ The Flying Squirrel COmmunity SPace: Olympic Resistance Workshop
The 2010 Winter Olympics is set to take place this February in occupied Coast Salish (Canada's West Coast) bringing with them social cleansing, ecocide, gentrification, a full-scale police state, and the further colonization of indigenous lands. However, resistance to these games has been fierce. Indigenous peoples and anarchists have targeted every single Olympic event so far with direct actions, and many corporate sponsors of the games have suffered repeated attacks on their assets. As the Olympics loom ever closer on the horizon resistance will escalate.... come learn about the growing indigenous and anarchist resistance movement and how folks in Upstate New York can plug in..
