Featuring: Three Little Birds and Testament

This is the party for OPIRG Week - Tools for Change. It features music by
the local and amazing folk/pop band Three Little Birds and the
Revolutionary hip-hop of Testament from London, Ontario. It is also a fund
raiser for Ottawa Movement Defense. Come out and show some love for OPIRG,
Three Little Birds, Testament and Ottawa Movement Defense!

THREE LITTLE BIRDS are a rabble rousing musical troupe who, in their
insightful lyrics reflect the honest humanity of their audiences. Hailing
from Ottawa, this trio shares captivating vocal harmonies over adept
acoustic instrumentation and their natural knack for sticking it to The
Man.

They are: Erin Saoirse Adair, kazoo enthusiast and charming shit
disturber; Amelia Leclair, world-wandering ragamuffin and student of
Brazilian rhythms; and Angela Schleihauf, extroverted introvert and
bringer of oboe fiyah. Bringing together three
songwriters/vocalists/multi-instrumentalists, Three Little Birds is an
innovative project and a nascent idea.

TESTAMENT: I am not a rapper, I am just a revolutionary that raps GOOD. My
lyrics are bricks I use to shatter apathy and the status quo. Wether I'm
spittin to a live DJ scratchin, acapella spoken word style, a beat-boxer
on the street, or a punk-rock drum beat, I never pull punches or shy away
from spreading confrontational dissent through powerful, thought-provoking
rhymes. I'm here to change hip-hop and steal its soul back from the
glorified violence, materialism, sexism, and racism that the music
industry creates promotes and markets for their own capitalist purposes.
The revolution will not be signed to a record deal... DIY or die. Raised
Fist Collective coming soon..

This is the party for OPIRG Week - Tools for Change.
