Post How much do kids love Propagandhi?

Apparently, the answer is a lot!

I went to this show, expecting it to be be fairly well attended, but it was totally oversold and insane. Since their western tour consisted of four days (Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon), people came from everywhere. Tons of people from Vancouver (12 hour drive) and people from as far as Boulder, CO (20 hour drive). I'm sure there must have been 1000 kids there. There were a few douches there, but man, kids went bonkers for Propagandhi.

I was completely in the dark as to how big this band still is. It was good to see they're as fiercely political as when I first saw them 15 years ago.

never got into them really. I have alot of friends who are big fans and talk highly about them... I just cant get into it.
I have seen them a few times and found their cover of hard times by cro-mags highly amusing.

Even here in Winnipeg (where they are from and still live) shows sell out in a day.

I believe they got the name of their second album from this guy I know here in Minneapolis. They played a show here back around 93 and this guy was drunk and heckling them because they would preach politics to the crowd for 10 minutes between songs. He was yelling "Less Talk More Rock" in their singer's face constantly. The singer, who was naked, ended up wrestling with the guy all over the stage. Good times. This incident may not be where the title came from, but I'd like to think so.

i kinda agree with lurker. I like their poppier sound better than their metally sound. I guess that changed when the bass player left to start the weakerthans, but I do still like them, just the older stuff a bit more.
