Just a po-Mormon boy caught in a web of 'Mormuslim' chaos.
A blurry space filled with dogma and ridicule, Sisterwives and burkas.
10% and some pure unplucked currants...the Lord of Dawn and the Heavenly father.
Taqwacore is the only way out!
The only way to express and contrast this insane world!
Josoma bin Smith and the Nephite Jihadis!!!!!!!
the Sagg Danite Collective....

Community Music and Revolution:
I, by all accounts, am "just an American boy...raised on MTV.
I seen all them kids in the soda pop ads and they dont look nothing like me"
I could've been John Walker Lind.
I could've been Pat Tillman.
I instead turned out Sagg.
Parts not equal in blood or culture.
Lebanese-Maronite, Sioux, Ute, Welsh-Deceangli, Berendei Turk and Mormon.
I grew up on a farm in rural Utah.
Ran away to Salt Lake City at a very young age.
Hitched a ride with some gypsy's to a rainbow gathering in Colorado.
Met a Sufi named Pau but people called him 'Tea Spoon'
Ate acid. Ate shrooms. Ate some green jello with carrot shavings.
I have seen strange things.
Years later
I Witnessed Elizabeth Smart, Wanda Barzee and Brian David Mitchell drinking beer at a party.
She said her name was Augustine Mitchell.
He stole her at 14 years old, to practice the fundamental teachings of the LDS church.
And take her as his second wife.
I once followed a Shoshone/Ute medicine man into the desert for 4 days with nothing.
I still dont know if he was real or not.
But I remember every single word he told me.
I know I found a copy of the Taqwacores, If I remember in a garbage can in Colorado.
It was hammered. Torn and incomplete.
I found a copy online a few months later.
I thought it was a crazy idea.
I almost named my band the Sagg Danite Collective, after Joseph Smith's insane jihadi thugs
most notable Porter Rockwell.
But I liked the Sagg Taqwacore Syndicate better.
And my music was heavy on sampling Asian and Persian music.
So I found it more appropriate at the time...
I have since decided that I am not really a Taqwacore band.
I dont think I deserve the title...
I play music.
And I have a tiny drop of something almost Muslim in my almost exclusively
whitebread Jack Mormon soulless shell of a fabulous olive toned body
But, what is Taqwacore?
I have no idea
But I think I know what Sagg is.
Sagg is freedom to say and do whatever in the fuck you want for whatever reason
and fuck anyone who cant handle my happiness or my pain
that I wish to shout and share to whomever will listen
and so is Taqwacore.
so maybe I'm not so out of place.
honestly who gives a fuck, its just music.
I would've been biting on Chuck Berry in the 50's
and Hendrix in the 70's
It's just the 2000's and Im biting on the Dead Bhutto's and Mike Knight instead.
I dont want your Top 40!
I dont want to battle any band!
I'd prefer justice rather than an award
INCLUSION~Diversity~EVOLUTION
helping ease the masses into the future
I prefer harsh reality to candy coated lies
Friends in place of Fans
Comrades in place of Commanders
No stolen rule...No stolen elections...
and NO we dont want your occupation!!!
We dont require your write-ups, put downs,
call backs, set ups, push pins, break thrus
and buzz clips!!!
