Rhythm Activism

The DIY twosome releases home-recorded cassettes, tours Canada in a Greyhound and, pre-Lollapalooza (1987), joins a busload of minimalist poets and musicians for the infamous 'Black Wedge Tour.' (The Regina Leader Post calls them "an all-girl band.") Later, they share European stages with Linton Kwisi Johnson, Attila the Stockbroker & Fred Frith. They play with DOA, John Giorno, Mecca Normal. They're called 'the Smothers Brothers from hell.' They play punk clubs, poetry festivals, hockey arenas and on the roof of a bus on a ferry. After a few years criss-crossing Canada, the USA & Europe, RA evolves into a full-fledged, theatrical 'rock 'n roll cabaret/rebel news orchestra' renowned for high energy, topical, news making shows. They use costumes, masks, giant props & describe their work as 'alternative, electrified journalism.' The Los Angeles magazine, OPTION says:'Jeez these guys are powerful!" They tour Poland with a satirical cabaret called 'Welcome to Capitalism, Poland!' & score an underground hit about a Polish Fiat - in Polish - on Polish national radio.
