Swing by. Come hang. Buy a book. Talk Greg’s ear off about how you would personally rank the Propagandhi discography. It’s gonna be a time. Come have a time with us.

Really hoping to see some of you out at Public Domain on Saturday evening to nerd out with us. I will be interviewing Greg about the book as part of the show, and there will be live performances by the homies Mike Koop and Paul Hodgert as well.

Hello human friends! My pal @gregsoden.bsky.social is in town from Buffalo to launch the book version of Unscripted Moments, which documents (in interview form) the last few years of his decades-long obsession with our very own Propagandhi.

Great conversation tonight with Trevor and Mike from OMENS!

Stay tuned for an interview about the (deliberately) slow roll-out to their second album, navigating the world of streaming and weird Google censorship, emerging from the Jet Set Satellite shadow, and much more!
