\"noise_brigade.jpg\"\nWith the Republican National Convention starting tomorrow, I was looking for some tunes to play loud enough so that I could drown out the spin and pandering. Luckily I found just the thing to do the trick. From the Seattle Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n

\nTheir goal is to disrupt the status quo, and they usually do it without an invitation.\n
\n
\nIt takes mere minutes for the Infernal Noise Brigade<\/a> to enliven a crowd \u00c2\u2014 on the steps of the Federal Building, in the streets of Prague, or surrounding a Starbucks in Pioneer Square. \n
\n
\nThe brigade has gained a reputation for providing a soundtrack for dissent in Seattle, but many might not realize how far the music spreads. \n<\/blockquote>\n\n

How far does it spread exactly and what kind of music do they play?<\/p>\n\n

\nNone of the lyrics are in English. The INB does a Peruvian song about people struggling against the rule, a French freedom song, a Portuguese song about a guerrilla soldier and his lover having their last breakfast together, and a Czech folk song. \n

\n“We come from different backgrounds, and we all borrow melodies,” said Alix Chappell, a 26-year-old vocalist. \n
\n
\n“It’s the kind of stuff you would find in a tape stall in India,” Strasser said. “A guy howling in Hindi, with rockabilly guitar and a jazz melody from the 1950s.<\/b> It’s different kinds of music being misused.” \n
\n
