European Summer Tour 2013!
Hello, Everybody!
We’re packed and ready to head off to Europe for a summer of fun! Why, when we live in one of the coldest cities in the world, we don’t go in winter is a bit baffling but We’re doing it again! We definitely hope to see you at a show or two; if you’re wondering where you can get tickets online glance to the right of your screen or check out the “shows” page on this very website for links. Thanks and see you soon.
How To Clean Everything 20th anniversary edition! (earplugs not included)
Hello my relatives. And the rest of you weirdos too. How’s it going? Alright nostalgia hounds, you’re going to like this. Check out what Fat Wreck Chords is doing:
We released Propagandhi’s classic first album How to Clean Everything back in 1993 and are celebrating the 20th anniversary with a new edition on August 20th! Guitarist Chris Hannah explains his reasoning for it, “Maybe it’s the bath-salts talking, but I have come believe that there is value in having something that haunts you until you are dead. I give you How To Clean Everything, the 20th anniversary edition.” The reissue includes the full album (duh), the 3 outtakes that Fat Mike cut from the record, and a super rare 4‑song HTCE demo. Of course the album was re-mastered from the original analog reels AND, this is the neat part, we are offering an exclusive Tab Book for the entire album! With both guitar and bass transcribed by Chris himself, the book will be available bundled with the reissue. 20 years on and these gents are still hard at work. You can catch them on tour in Europe and once a month you can listen to Chris and Derek Hogue’s (from G7) Escape Velocity Radio, a monthly podcast that dips into such subject matter as science, philosophy, history and origins of consciousness. The podcast has nothing to do with this release of course but it reminds us of the journey these guys have taken and continue to be as relevant today, as they were 20 years ago when they released their breakout record How To Clean Everything.Stay tuned for more deets on this abomination of human suffering and fun.
National Lampoon's European Vacation 2013
Hello fellow brains in vats, how are you today? oh, that’s excellent. If you go look at the “SHOWS” link up above, you will see that we have booked some European dates with the mighty metallic hardcore unit Shai Hulud and the not-to-be-out-mightied feminist hardcore punk band War On Women, who were recently featured on the amazing, incredible, incomprehensible Escape Velocity Radio podcast.
I know we’re all still reeling from the devastating news from Ted Nugent that his dog died, but when we are done outpouring our sympathies to that great animal-lover, maybe we can get America back on track and go to these shows in Europe and blame gun violence on gays and lesbians like we did in the good old days. Thank you.
Thanks and see you next year!
Greetings fellow psychologically-scarred members of western society! I hope you are well. So, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped support our band of (occasionally) merry men throughout 2012, especially those of you who came out to the shows and sang/danced your faces off. Much respect to you all.
With that in mind, check out this keynote address by our friend Joshua Kahn Russell, who has toured with us before, about “fighting to win”. Food for thought!
Prairie Fire!
Alright Prairie dwellers and ice attracted travellers! We’re heading to Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Banff starting on November 29th. We hope you’ll all show up to rock the show with us!
FAILED STATES Tab Book Now Available!
Hello fellow mortals.
Finally, the music of the spheres has been transcribed for guitar and bass!
Todd, Chris and I, along with our friends Tim and Luke (Sheet Happens/Protest The Hero), spent many hours going over the tunes from our new record, Failed States, to make sure that the transcriptions you get here are as close as humanly possible to what we actually played in the studio.
Also included are performance notes, gear lists and – by popular demand – lyrics, so you can follow along more easily. Go here for more details.
Hope you dig it!

Yekaterina Samutsevich: Closing Statement at the Pussy Riot Trial.
“I now have mixed feelings about this trial. On the one hand, we now expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won. Now the whole world sees that the criminal case against us has been fabricated.”
See Yekaterina’s full statement here.
Escape Velocity Radio
You really need to hear the interview Todd and I did with Anishinabe journalist/hip-hop artist Wab Kinew that appears on Escape Velocity Radio, a new podcast featuring me, Chris Hannah, as your host! Oh, it also features Derek Hogue as a co-host but no one cares about him or what he thinks.
