Des Ark – which one of you assholes ate christmas!!! from If You Make It on Vimeo.
I happened to find a leak of the new Des-Ark album today (Don’t Rock the Boat, Sink the Fucker, due out next month on Lovitt Records) and it has made this Christmas a bit more introspective and moody than usual.
How did you spend your holiday? I went and saw Tiny Furniture and ate some delicious Chinese food in Berkeley. (Jew!) Tell me about your day.
I hope it was splendid.

One of the most influential and unknown bands to ever grace america. Art fags to extreme while still remaining total badasses. You have to bear with the recording quality, as they never recorded a proper album, but this is the most popular of their demo bootlegs. RIP Tomata Du Plenty.

Milo from the Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP) wrote in to share some info about an upcoming event in Milwaukee:
On the weekend of October 22nd through October 24th, A Broader Vocabulary Collective and QZAP present Girls to the Front Fest.
Girls to the Front Fest is a three-day event dedicated to the legacy and persevering spirit of the Riot Grrrl movement. This movement was an important moment in forming identities of fierce feminists, queer warriors and community minded leaders. Throughout the weekend, we will hold several events which include music, activism, poetry, discussions, art, workshops, and films. Opening night kick-off will feature a reading and discussion by Sarah Marcus, author of Girls to the Front: the True Story of the Riot GRRRL Revolution. Central to the event will be several concerts featuring female and queer bands from Milwaukee and surrounding cities. Girls to the Front will also host events featuring groups such as the Pedal Pushers Society, The Miltown Kings, and the Brew City Bruisers.
Looks like they’re also going to have a showing of the Le Tigre documentary and riot grrrl karaoke. What a dream!
Check out the schedule at the GTTFF website, ok? This is going to rule.
