je colle ca la avant d'oublier, pour archive sur la kamaraderie entre les groupes folkloriques "libertaires" francais et les groupes staliniens (nucleo terco) ou ultra-nationalistes (Opcio :"pas de francais dans le nord de la catalogne"). a noter le beau retournement de vest de oi polloi, groupe anarchopunk ecossais historique, dont le premier disque comportait une face anti fasciste et une face anti communiste....

So, now that we have your attention...
For the third year in a row, we are excited to present the „Fire and Flames Festivals,“ and due to the great successes in Goettingen (each year sold out with over 1000 guests!) we have decided to spread the joy this year with festivals in Frankfurt and Berlin.
While the FF Festivals have indeed been a great party, we view them in the same way we view our work as label and distribution...as an expression of our music and subculture, but also as a political stage. This year will be no different!
In the case of Goettingen, the political aspect was dictated the previous years by the Nazi demonstrations which both times took place almost simultaneous to the FF festival. Fortunately, the massive and militant resistance to them seems to have left them not wanting, at least for the moment, a third round.
This year, the focus is the “Creation and Defense of Autonomous Free Spaces” in reaction to attacks from the city of Göttingen and its University against left-wing structures and free spaces, most notably the efforts of the University to undo the collective rental contracts of the Rote Strasse 0-5 (an address you might recognize as, among other things, our homebase!), in effect signifying a “gradual eviction” and destroying the character of these (and other university owned buildings) as collective and self-managed spaces.
For this reason, we will be mobilizing together with our local, regional, and international “partners” to a weekend of action and information with several meetings and presentations, culminating in a large and strong demonstration in Göttingen on Saturday the 20th of October, to show the university and the city that the radical left is alive and kicking, and more than capable of defending itself from attacks against its structures!
Needless to say, we will as usual be working together on this, as well as the festival, with the comrades from the Antifaschistische Linke International.
More information on the struggle to defend the Rote Strasse will be coming in the next few weeks on our website (in English), as well as on the page of the Antifaschistische Linke International (in English and German...
www.puk.de/ali), and through our newsletter.
In the meantime, you can also visit the website of the “Here to Stay” campaign...

One week later, we will be in Frankfurt, organizing the first “Fire and Flames Festival” in Frankfurt together with the Droogs, the antifascist Ultras of Eintracht Frankfurt. The festival will take place in the Antagon Halle (with a capacity for 1.000 guests per evening) and represents for us an attempt to bring the festival, and with it our politics, to a larger audience. If you have any doubts that we are putting a lot of effort into this, a quick look at the incredible 10 band line-up should make it clear that we expect to see you all there!
Finally, last but certainly not least, we end the year with a festival in Berlin which has an unbeatable lineup for Friday, and Saturday features the first ever (and for the moment only) concert in Germany of the great Redskin band from Madrid, Nucleo Terco.
But enough talking, here is, everything you need to know about the festivals. For further informations and the current lineups, check the internet site (often!)
Hope to see you all in the next few months!
