Meryl Streek on GAG at Astoria, Vancouver, Canada on 2nd April 2017
Manage episode 443099242 series 3582253
It’s the last episode of the first season of Calculating Infinite Tees, but we have an excellent guest to round it off in the form of polemic punk poet provocateur Meryl Streek. His new album, Songs for the Deceased, is released 25th October through Venn Records and it is essential listening.
The show discussed was from American underground hardcore band Gag, at Astoria in Vancouver, Canada on 2nd April 2017. Issues at the Canadian border prevented their vocalist from playing the show, which led to a unique show where devoted fans took turns on the mic so that the Gag gig could go ahead.
Talk inevitably turns to the variety of harrowing events Meryl Streek is raising awareness of through his music, his residency in Vancouver of 8 years, and, believe it or not, Chumbawamba.
