about

Growing up in Brandon, MB as an aspiring rapper was often frustrating & lonely. Being the first rapper from Brandon was both good & bad in terms of creativity & inspiration. Brandon never saw any rap shows and rap music was scarce & almost entirely unavailable at A&A records & tapes.

Dj Hunnicutt & I would go to punk rock house parties in the hopes of getting on the mic & jamming out a rap tune with local punk heroes Swiller or Iron Bacon. As Farm Fresh we started playing all kinds of punk & weirdo shows, opening for Red Fisher, Meatrack, Grand Theft Canoe, Tangleshack, Garage People & others. As 3 white guys that rapped about Matlock & the awkwardness of losing our virginity we seemed right at home on these bills. I took a lot of inspiration from the strange stage shows put on by Skingerbreadman & Frek Sho. It was music based access shows like Johnny Sizzle’s Entertainment Watch & DJ Bunny’s Spotlite that brought the odd & unavailable into our homes. People like them that loved music so much & would stop at nothing to share that love of the often slept on & overlooked bands & groups that they related to & rocked out with.

So although cable TV no longer allows community based programming, we do still have radio stations like CKUW broadcasting the words & sounds of Winnipeg & the weird. My choice to cover a Johnny Sizzle song was based on a respect for his dedication to local & real music. Someone who also made music with a sense of humor & anxiety to it that I can relate to. And besides....Propaghandi wanted to cover Econoline Crush & Novillero beat me to the Crash Test Dummies
joint.....Oh Yeahhhh!
