A series of rallies in support of that exciting new trend, Democ-Rock, begins tonight in Hoboken, New Jersey. These rallies will be held over the next four weeks in various swing-ing states. (They will all feature live entertainment by Democ-Rock band The Fiery Furnaces.) See below for specific dates and places.

(By the way, the caucusing to determine the next Fiery Furnaces album continues. See the post below this one for album candidate names and brief descriptions of their proposed policies. Make your voice heard by leaving a comment to any post on this website.)

A provisional Democ-Rock Party platform will soon be vetted here. It will, Citizen/Fans, outline a significantly more thorough-going, Citizen/Fan-Generated, type of Democ-Rock.

This thorough-going approach will work in tandem with that represented by the future, caucus-and-Democ-Rock-convention-designated but still solely-band-written, Fiery Furnaces album mentioned in the previous news item. The confluence of these Two Approaches will result in the Mighty River of a Progressive Popular Culture To Come. But more on that later.

Support Democ-Rock and help build that fabled progressive popular culture. Come out to the Fiery Furnaces Roll the Dice shows/Democ-Rock rallies listed below.
