radical folksingers from U.S. looking for places to play!
Riot-Folk! Records | 22.02.2005 00:37 | Culture | London
Evan Greer, Ryan Harvey, and Mark Gunnery three anarchist folk/punk artists well known in the United States, and members of the newly formed Riot-Folk! Records Collective are planning to come to the UK for a short tour before the G8 Protests in July. They are looking for contacts and venues to play, be they squats, infoshops, bars, houses, streets, or at riots.
We are Riot-Folk! a radical leftist collective record label here in the United States. Some of us (Ryan Harvey, Evan Greer and Mark Gunnery) are planning to come to the G8 protests in Scotland in July. We'd love to tour around and play some music in the UK first.
We've played with folks like Billy Bragg, David Rovics, and Pete Seeger.
We promise you a folking good riot.
Check out our website, www.riotfolk.org for lots of free mp3s, reviews, lyrics, shows etc. etc.
We're looking for any places to play in the UK starting in late June 2005. We'll play house shows, squats, infoshops, coffeeshops, lawns, riots, rallies, jails and everywhere in between. Our music is a blend of acoustic folk, radical punk, and rock and roll.
So, ANYONE, if you like the music you hear at www.riotfolk.org, get in touch with us and let us know what you're up to. We're not looking to make money, just to play some great music for some great people!
Love and Solidarity,
The Riot-Folk! Records Collective

Love Me, I'm a Liberal
by Phil Ochs
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
As long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I read New Republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I vote for the democtratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
