Join us at the Internationalist for a night of passionate acoustic ballads from Jessie Williams and William Blackart!

Jessie Williams hails from Oakland, California, strumming earnest, politically articulate folk and country tunes. Jessie's ballads, following in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, spin stories of ramblers and ne'er-do-wells struggling to light a flame of inspiration amidst the alienation of modern life. Tune in at http://www.myspace.com/TheSuburbanRevolt.

Join us for a night of energetic acoustic music as we welcome TRAGWAG (That Really Awesome Guy With A Guitar), a banjo/guitar duo from Massachusetts on their Spring Break tour.

Some say: "TRAGWAG calls forth the sound of their influences through acoustic filters. The 1-2 of hardcore bands like Minor Threat and other angst-swelled American punk, and rowdy, catchy rock. It suddenly becomes lo-fi jangle without forgetting its roots." Think catchy male/female harmonies singing earnest, wistful reflections on love and stuff over a lively upbeat strummed chords and tinkling banjo alongside.

Come out and show your support for folks on the inside. Here are some of the prisoners whose birthdays come this month:

RICHARD MAFUNDI LAKE: a long-time organizer against racist police brutality in Alabama. To stop his organizing work, he was sentenced in 1983 under Alabama's Habitual Offender Act to life in prison.

Rolling Thunder is a biannual, locally produced anarchist journal covering passionate living and creative resistance in all the forms they take: from consensus process to streetfighting, from workplace struggles to graffiti art, from gender mutiny to subversive humor. Each issue runs the gamut from on-the-spot reporting, strategic analysis, and instructional guides to poetry, comics, and games.
