Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Posted May 10, 2002 Hello Jay & other friends, Due to a conflict, I won't be able to attend the event at Cell Space, but I notice that Mark Pistil's electronic dub collective is also on the RTFM label. For those who may not know (those who don't care can just delete right now!), Mark Pistil played bass guitar for Consolidated, a three-piece band of political rappers hailing from SF, and very big in the late 80's/early 90's. Vegan and very pro-animal rights, Consolidated reached the peak of their career in 1989/1990 with their album, " Friendly Fascism. " Featuring titles such as " Sexual Politics of Meat " (offering Carol Adams reading from her seminal text to the backdrop of industrial rhythms) and " Meat Stinks " (offering a collection of " realities " - a la John Robbins - again set against a powerful beat), Consolidated have liberally sampled the voice of Ingrid Newkirk of PETA in their songs against meat consumption, abuse of animals in laboratories, rape of the wild, patriarchy, rampant consumerism; alienation under modern capitalism, and other light subject matter. They're one of my all-time-favorite groups; really wonderful and interesting. Philip Steir, the drummer for Consolidated, produced two benefit compilations for In Defense of Animals, which are, in my mind, among the very best of the many animal rights benefit compilations. Have fun tonight, Jay! Cheers, Alka Jay Gleason [jay.gleason] Friday, May 10, 2002 11:31 AM [sFBAVeg] Vegan food & dance : FW: Tonight at Cellspace!
