Rhythm Activism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhythm Activism was a Canadian musical collective, revolving around the core duo of Sylvain Côté and Norman Nawrocki. The group, based in Montreal, performed a politically radical brand of "rock 'n roll cabaret".
On several occasions, the band recorded and released albums on just a few days' notice, to support political activist campaigns such as the Oka Crisis of 1990 and a Quebec students' strike. Most of their material was released on their own Les Pages Noires label, although their final album Jesus Was Gay was distributed on G7 Welcoming Committee Records.
The band's song "Down in the Mines" appears on the 2005 G7 compilation Take Penacilin Now.
