  • Bio

    Agents of Change - A motley crew of rabble rousers, trouble makers, and political dissidents who are set to besiege the dance hall with a fury comparable only to barbarians that burned Rome. Their backgrounds are varied as are their motivations, but the end result is a whirlwind of politics and post-genre musical fusion. At live shows, it's not uncommon to see a room full of hip-hop heads, punks, activists, hippies, community organizers, righteously pissed off sistas, AWOL soldiers, and other humanoids not content with the status quo sharing the dance floor. Since 2005 they have brought their blend of styles and anti-authoritarian politics to stages across the United States, launching guerrilla style attacks from their secret headquarters in Chicago, IL.
