ACAB

Hey there! Sunday's a good day to find all the leftover weed on the table, make a spliff and do the dishes. 


Here's a video of me playing a show with Guy and Amit (Both from the infamous Haifa punk band SLOPPY YOUTH) at the Rogatka Veggie Bar in Tel-Aviv, a place that I'm told has good veggie hot dogs. But I think everyone knows that Lost and Found/Lulu's or whatever you call it in Brooklyn has the monopoly on punk venues giving bands veggie dogs. Obviously Ye Olde Gay St. Shed in Huntsville, AL holds the record for giving proportionately the most hot dogs out to touring bands in it's 2 months of existence.

If you know a place I can play in Germany on the way to Holland on the 24th, I'll do it. I don't give a shit about money. I worked a crappy job so I can do this. I also play acoustic so I can play fucking anywhere. Get in touch, let's make this happen: davidvanhale [at] gmail [dot] com

HI INTERNET!

I'm really bad at updating my other web page and I keep forgetting to re-register it, so here's the blog thing:

This is the internet space for SIGFRIED AND ROID-RAGE. This is my acoustic punk project. I'm from Huntsville, AL but I live in Rome, Italy. I sing songs that are political but some of them are about love and depression. I play music that is strongly rooted in the DIY punk/ hardcore scene and believe that punk is a great unifying phenomenon throughout the world and can and should be used to establish a comfortable space where people can discover that there's more to the world than what's going on in their neighborhood and then thinking about how to make their neighborhoods a better place. Punk may not be the solution but, it's a good place to start.

Since I started playing music this way, I've been extremely lucky to meet awesome people and go to some fucking amazing places. I've played shows in Italy, USA, Ghana, Israel, Austria, France, Monaco, England, and Scotland

Here's some awesome bands my friends are in that you should check out!
