Hmmm. Well, it would be better if they said something like "Death from above"...

asking here because of the number of music writers on this site -
why is there not one story calling out DFA on their alt right connections? all i see are puff pieces on the new album. what gives?

bump

I'd wager it's because

1. No one really cares about them anymore
2. No one left who cares is even remotely surprised

What are the connections? I don't think I even know what this band sounds like - guitars? - but I think all I've seen is one picture of one (masked?) dude from this group hanging with a bunch of alleged assholes in a bar. Is there more?

ironically, no lead guitar at all

dreadful band

noisey has run two articles on them in the last two weeks

so much for doing the work and fighting like fuck

Does this mean we should no longer make love and listen to Death From Above?

the dude is on Gavin's show all the time and Gavin has claimed JK as a Proud Boy. cmon do better, music writers.

What the fuck is a Proud Boy?

let me google that for you

I think that name is super, super dumb because it sounds so much like a regional name for a sandwich (hoagie, hero, sub, proud boy, grinder, etc)

I like that it's diminuitive, they should go all the way and change it to Little Proud Boys

ya but like it's supposed to be "silly and jokey" which is like one of their main defenses

If I have to google what a Proud Boy is (I don't know what it is) because JK (I don't know who that is, but I assume a DFA guy?) is a friend of Gavin (I think I know who that is?) to learn whether a dude from a band I don't think I've ever heard is some alt-right asshole, I'm not sure it's worth a story for the general public. But maybe?

chaki's point is that they are in the middle of a PR push so there are already stories being written about them. none of which mention the alt-right connection.

Aha. Yeah, that's weird. Does the band affiliate alt-right, or just this one guy?

who... cares?

Josh -not trying to get down on you, but also not trying to hold your hand on this stuff either. Proud Boys have been in the news a lot lately.

This is a good start: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/626/white-haze

Whiney I care that indie rock media gives a pass to Gavin and his buddies. Aren't you the one always clowning on Noisey and talking shit on people giving a pass to Terry Richardson? What's the diff?

Does the band affiliate alt-right, or just this one guy?

half the band, ie one guy, does

other half guilty by association imo

Like you just gave shit to John Maus for being on MDE in the AP thread.. if THAT get's a story why wouldn't this popular band person being associated with the pbs get a story

hoping that Whiney was responding to Josh there

I assume he meant "who cares if it is the band or one guy," per my comment.

xpost

yeah, was responding to Josh

haha im an idiot sorry

Googled "Proud Boys," what a bunch of stupid dickholes, but yeah, not ringing a bell. Weird.

damn now i want a sub sandwich tho thanks a lot djp

Any time!

*regional sub sandwich

Hadn't heard of the Proud Boys until some people I know from the vintage scooter (and associated mod/soul) scene started complaining that the group had adopted a particular Fred Perry shirt as their uniform.

shittiest band

I didn't know that Kurt Schwitterz posted here, in fact over a week before he published the Medium article.

I post on Ned Raggett's Facebook page alerted me to the story. I was supposed to review the DFA show in Philly the same day that Keller wrote his not particularly contrite mea culpa.

I didn't review the show. I did, however, explain why I didn't.

I do want to thank Kurt and Ned for signal boosting this (I believe that's what the kids call it). It reminded me that even us lowly internet bloggers and writers of music can at least try and do better.

Huge respect to you for your piece. And that’s fine and good except that it’s not good enough for me - I 100% agree with this. His statement was BS and absolves him of nothing.

('kurt' is a long, long-time ilxor)

where's the medium piece? I missed it, chaki

I keep seeing sponsored UC Theater posts about their upcoming show here and have been surprised that there didn't seem to be any antifa protests lined up around it.

oh I found it. so you buy that apology? do we really excuse this because the guy is an idiot?

here's one webpage that will give you all the evidence you need to say fuck this moron and his shitty excuse forever
https://www.compoundmedia.com/shows/the-gavin-mcinnes-show-133/5718dfe9fde84536fd013f57/

the only reason he's 'apologised' is that he doesn't want to lose the income from his shitty bands shows

I don't buy the apology nor do I think it's good enough.

SUMMARY
Today on TGMS, Gavin covers the Muslim takeover of Britain, but first, Bobby Henline and Gavin rate the top 10 hottest chicks. Jesse Keeler tells Gavin how Britain is losing it's identity. Tommy Robinson describes his recent problems with Muslims in his hometown of Luton. Jack Buckby ends the show giving an overall view of Muslim's effect on Britain.

WTF does this fool know about Britain's identity anyway

the smiths probably

his wife's family lives there

Amoeba has a tie-in with DFA right now, i wonder if they're at all aware of his Gavin show appearances and some of the anti-Muslim quotes...
