LABJACD,
THE CONCH, PATAPHYSICS, MADRE MONTE, I HEART CUSACK
Five of
Melbourne's hottest bands together for a special night to commemorate 37
years since the terrible period in Chilean history with the overthrow of
democratically elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende, and to
draw out the inspirational struggle that the chilean people and the rest
of Latin America have undertaken to fight for a better world.
Free entry, great company and great music with a
conscience, what
more could you want!?
Clare Castle Pub, Rathdowne St, Carlton, from 9pm!
(Not our usual last Friday of the month folks, on account of us heading up North!)
Another amazing night down at Forrest, and victory to the people! People
power and solidarity forced Optus to move their tower.
Go
TOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great year, working with a whole bunch of amazing people, bringing music and politics together to make change!

A snapshot of the Conch in the year 2006, year of fighting war and
Howard's Industrial Relations deforms...
At Fed Square fighting workchoices... November 30, 2006. Yes, we felt very rockstar indeed rolling into Fed square on the back of a huge flatbed truck, playing in front of 10's of thousands of angry people, angry at Howard and co’s rotten workchoices- what choices? The choice to be super-exploited, easily sacked… we gotta get rid of these laws, and it doesn’t matter who’s governing them, hear that Kev and Julia? Bad laws must be broken!
"It feels so good to dance and think at the same time!" - a happy Conch fan.
G'day we're The Conch! We're an 11 piece band playing a dynamic mix of Ska, Reggae, Latin, funk, hip-hop, swing and more. We'll get you off your seat, onto the dance floor and into the street! In the same spirit as progressive artists such as Spearhead, Asian Dub Foundation, Manu Chao, Ozomatli and Rage against the Machine, The Conch plays music for change! The Conch is short for Conciousness. Don't just get angry, get funky! It's not our revolution if we can't dance to it!
