FRODUS REUNION>>>>

wtf, i think i was going to make a point to go to SXSW this year. but here i am, working almost everyday of the first half of this month. so to cut to the chase...cut and paste!!!

Hello,

Lovitt Records and Slip Productions will be doing a joint showcase during SXSW week. We joined forces because we care about good music and want to share our love with you.
We have been working non-stop to create the best possible show and just as we were about to announce the amazing line up we got the the following communique from The Frodus Conglomerate International:

"2009 has seen the world economy crumble due to the unethical practices of businessmen and corporate oligarchy. The current administration with the assistance of Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, has reached out to the Frodus Conglomerate International for aid. Calls were made, doors were closed and numbers adjusted. After weeks of vicious negotiation both parties agreed on a proper course of action.


The Frodus Conglomerate International will address the public for the first time in 10 years on Saturday March 21, 2009, at 4:30 pm in Austin, Texas. Austin will be the first of several public forums to address current global conditions forewarned by the FCI in years past. The Conglomerate has employed Liam Wilson of the Dillinger Escape Plan to supply bass guitar for this address while Nathan Burke organizes his North-West Contingency. We are the economic police.
"

In addition to announcing Frodus playing, we are happy to announce the rest of the amazing line-up! The show will take place on Saturday, March 21st at the Radio Room (508 East 6th Street) in Austin, Texas, on two stages.
The current schedule is:

Slavery in our midsts....

Read an article reposted on Boingboing.net today from Gourmet magazine about tomato pickers in the Naples, FL area that have been working under horrible,"slaver-like" conditions for years now. One such story revealed a group of men forced to live in a truck, pay $5 for cold, water hose showers, and threatened to be beaten by their "crew bosses" for being sick, exhausted, or malnourished. We are all very aware of the work conditions set in place for poverty level humans across the globe and even in this country, however, to have such basic slavery right under our noses in our own state is ludicrous.
there is a group called the Coalition of Immokalee Workers that has been campaigning for the rights of these workers for the past few years. the website is ciw-online.org.
check it out. send our governor an email.
i know that in these times caring for the income and well-being of others isn't necessarily easy, but these people are the ones pulling your fruits and vegetables everyday, making sure Publix has those perfectly red tomatoes in the Winter.
gettin off the soapbox now. atleast check it out. this is a huge part of our state.
