The Junos

is there a pro­gres­sive, pro-demo­c­ra­t­ic, pro-envi­ron­ment, anti-impe­ri­al­ist, anti-cap­i­tal­ist, pro-rec­on­cil­li­a­tion polit­i­cal par­ty in Cana­da that also promis­es to evis­cer­ate fund­ing for the ​“arts” in this coun­try? because i’d fuckin vote for that par­ty in a new york second. 

have a nice day.

Please Vote Trump.

I’m seri­ous. We are hop­ing a Trump pres­i­den­cy will cause Sulynn to flee the US and claim asy­lum in Winnipeg.

In bare­ly relat­ed news, if you’d like to enjoy a trip down mem­o­ry lane to when we were a 3‑piece, i’ve put the audio for our ​“Live From Occu­pied Ter­ri­to­ry” dvd up on our Band­Camp page if you feel like break­ing off a piece a dat. 

ok, back to mak­ing new, fuckin killer tunes. get lost. 

Chomsky on the Super-Rich and The Corporate Sector, Part 1 Zillion

hi. a short inter­view here with old man Chom­sky about the toi­let bowl called Amer­i­can democracy.

BEWARE ALL POSERS. We have a new friend. Her name is Sulynn. She plays an SG and she’s ready to crack some fuckin skulls with it onstage with us. What the fuck else do you need to know?!? What else mat­ters in this world?!? Well, let’s hear from the axe-slinger herself:

“Hey every­one! I’m Sulynn. I’ll be respon­si­ble for adding long hair head bang­ing and stage left gui­tar riffage at Pro­pa­gand­hi shows from here on out. I’m from Tam­pa, Flori­da where I spend my days drink­ing lots of cof­fee, nerd­ing out on the gui­tar for hours, run­ning my own busi­ness teach­ing gui­tar, and squeez­ing in sweaty yoga ses­sions when I can. I feel beyond stoked to get to play with a group of guys who have influ­enced my play­ing and taste for a very long time. It’s gonna be a rad time, and I hope to get to share the expe­ri­ence with you all. Let’s rage!

That’s what the fuck i’m talk­ing about! Stay tuned for more info and shows com­ing down the pike! Yes, let’s RAGE!!

(cue Def Lep­pard’s ​“Foolin” except singing ​“Ah, S‑S-S-Sulynn”…also, big ups to every­one who sent in a gui­tar audi­tion over the past few months…holy moly there are a lot of good play­ers out there!)

I Am A Goddamn Rifle!

Today is the day my friends. In hon­our of our fall­en com­rade Todd Seri­ous of the leg­endary The Rebel Spell (see pre­vi­ous blog entry), we humbly offer this ver­sion of ​“I Am A Rifle”. Hope you feel it like we do. 

any pro­ceeds after record­ing expens­es will go the Wildlife Defence League and/​or the Unis­toten Defence Fund, so do what you can. Todd would’ve approved. Rest in Pow­er bud. 

I Am A Rifle / August 18th! Mark thine calendar!!!

Hel­lo fel­low dis­be­liev­ers-that-this-polit­i­cal-sys­tem-is-tak­en-seri­ous­ly-by-the-cit­i­zen­ry, how are you today? Yeah, me too. Oh well. 

You prob­a­bly remem­ber that ear­li­er this year our friend Todd Seri­ous of Canada’s nation­al trea­sure, The Rebel Spell, shuf­fled off this mor­tal coil far too soon. Well, we want­ed to do some­thing to pay our respects to his band­mates, his friends, his fam­i­ly, his com­mu­ni­ty and espe­cial­ly his spir­it, so with the help of Bal­ti­more’s War On Women doing back­ing vocals, we record­ed a ver­sion of The Rebel Spel­l’s ​“I Am a Rifle” here in Win­nipeg and had the fel­las at The Blast­ing Room in Ft Collins mix it. We think we did it jus­tice and we hope Erin, Elliot, Travis and Stepha think so too!

In hon­our of Tod­d’s true rebel spir­it, any pro­ceeds after record­ing expens­es will go the Wildlife Defence League and/​or the Unis­toten Defence Fund. You can help make that hap­pen on August 18^th by throw­ing down some coin for it on our band­camp page or through any of the usu­al dig­i­tal down­load sus­pects, like iTunes. Thanks people!
