The Other 99%
The Other 99% is not a band; it’s a movement. It’s a rebellion against the idea that music is a one-way street…that performer and audience members must keep to themselves. It’s an attempt to channel our individual experiences into a kind of group catharsis, wherein the terms "audience” and “performer” dissolve into one another. The Other 99% performs with a crowd, not for it. Revival Of The Fittest is more than just a playful twist on an old scientific theory. We’ve chosen to take the songs of a bygone era and make them our own. The same passions that drove those in the early part of the 20th century still ring true almost a century later. These tunes, most of which are pre-WWII, have a fire that we seek to preserve and to stoke into a raging bonfire. Gather round, y’all…things are about to get real hot. Yaw! In memory of: Leadbelly, Elizabeth Cotton, Rev. Gary Davis, countless field hands, prison gangs, mountaineers, jug bands, holiness congregations and anyone else given to songs of unbridled expression. [more] |
