   About the Capitalist Kids
"As the global market comes crashing down, children nursed on the milk of capitalism will find the values with which they have been raised increasingly irrelevant."

--Sarah Nardi



"If we are to save the planet--by ending Pax Americana, rethinking the idea that war is inevitable, moving away from oil to alternative energies, putting the brakes on a consumer society gone wild, treating poverty and inequality anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere--first we have to imagine a new landscape."

--Steve Cobble

REVIEWS:

"Good set." -- Joe Queer

*********



The long awaited disappointment from the Capitalist Kids is finally here! The brand new album, "Current Events", featuring 14 songs in the key of awesome! This album is both sword and shield against the evil capitalist forces of oppression! And it's only $2! You owe it to yourself to come to the show and buy one! So get with the countdown, shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville with the Capitalist Kids' "Current Events"!

Dear Money Money Children,

Do you guys have a release with that Waterboarding song on it? I haven't gotten it out of my head since the Brickfight show.

Or, alternatively, do you have a full length out?

Your super best friend,
-Bryan

From: U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM
SUBCOMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT,
ORGANIZATION AND PROCUREMENT

Fact Sheet. June 2007.

Postal Service IG Karla Corcoran resigned in 2003 amid Congressional and PCIE investigations of wasteful spending. Ms. Corcoran required employees to attend elaborate team-building and awards programs for which millions of dollars were spent on travel and salaries.

IG employees were required to dress up in animal costumes and build gingerbread houses.Videotapes from these sessions show “public servants dressed up as the Village People, wearing cat costumes, doing a striptease, and participating in mock trials – all on official time, all at the public’s expense.”

one of your three fans here again (actually it is four because i got one of my friends into you guys [and the anchor]). anyway, the new songs are awesome. they're simple...yet awesome. that's the sign of a good band. "your boyfriend is an asshole"...that could be by the descendents in 1986 (or 1996/2004 for that matter). but it's by the capitalist kids in 2009. fucking splendid. i couldn't think of another word other than "splendid". i noticed that jeff has a bad religion sticker on his bass, so i will use bad religion words: fucking magnanimous.
