CITIZEN
KING
..is a five person omniverse. An independent political
think tank. A street sweeping team. Founders of Cop
Stoppers Int'l, and a martial arts consortium. Citizen
King has broken more humans out of prison than any "radical"
organization -- and in only four years. Their names
are first on every black and guest list.
As public as any REAL fugitive or criminal, they play
shows for peanuts, singing in some kind of loose CcOoDDdEe.
Their music is both a reference and a signifier. Do
you "follow7quot;? Only real pain can be changed
through music, so if you aren't mad yet, go back to
Madonna's site. Don't bother with enlightenment if you
are here looking for ROCK* music. Or POP* or PUNK* or
HIPHOP* or POST* any damn thing. Continue to eat cheeseburgers,
show up on time, and forget to vote. Ask people what
"kind" of music this is.
We do not play the ROCK*. We do not play the HIPHOP*.
Nor the PUNK*.
Not POST-*whatever.
INDIE*, TECHNO*, MODERN*, and PROG* are for radio programmers.
Are YOU programmed?
Neither are we.
Click for music free of brand names. We have done this
for four years, and some songs were recorded while on
fire.
Try to guess which.
These songs will make you dance crying, laughing maniacally
as you give all your money to charity--and we weren't
even TRYING.
Don't think you won't be changed, or that it won't hurt.
Your pain is deep down, and will not come nicely.
