David Rovics w/ Attila the Stockbroker

Sat, Mar 11
7:30 PM-10:00 PM
$5-10 suggested. A benefit for New Orleans' Common Ground Collective

An evening of music with David Rovics, Attila the Stockbroker, Folk
This! and Ryan Harvey (Riot Folk).

David Rovics is from Massachusetts, and incredibly perceptive,
intelligent, incisive, angry songs, sung to a supremely accomplished
acoustic guitar backing: the heir to the mantle of Pete Seeger and
Phil Ochs. He is permanently on tour - in the US, the UK and all over
mainland Europe - and recently returned from the occupied territories
in Palestine. He sings at political rallies and demonstrations all
over the place, and his songs are becoming increasingly heard on the
radio, from 'Democracy Now' in the US to Andy Kershaw's national BBC
folk music radio show in the UK.

Attila the Stockbroker is from Brighton on the south coast of England
and he has just celebrated 25 years traveling the world earning his
living as a punk rock poet, political satirist and hard-edged
songwriter. Imagine a hyperactive mix of The Clash, Jello Biafra and
Monty Python! Attila's themes are topical, his words hard-hitting,
his politics unashamedly radical, but he will make you roar with
laughter as well as seethe with anger. He's released loads of CDs/LPs
and 4 books of poetry, done well over 2000 gigs all across Europe,
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the East Coast of the US, but this
is his first 'proper' West Coast tour.
