“This is not my country/it is not of me/I’m from the future/you wish you would see” (From The Future). It is with this irreverence and inspired vision that New York City-based OUTERNATIONAL is creating a whole new culture in the music scene. UPCOMING SHOWS
Friday December 16th WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:“Outernational's music is as righteous as their politics. They have a rare combination of talent, purpose, and a great sweat drenched live show, uplifting and raw.” “On November 2, 2005... It was a fired up, diverse crowd that grooved to the excellent musicianship and furious lyrics of the genre-bending Brooklyn quintet, Outernational...” “These boys are the next big thing, in my opinion. They are an incredible mix of hip-hop, hard-rock, and world music. They mix politics and dance music in the best way, much like The Clash did.” “I don't know how else to say it - these guys are the real deal. I think back to the bands that inspired me over the years because they had righteous lyrics and music to match, like The Clash, or Ozomatli, or the Minutemen, and I gotta put Outernational right there with them. People are still talking about them here in Greensboro. They are what music should be for -- inspiring people to reach beyond the barriers, to create something new, to make something better than the bullshit system we live in. I'm convinced that after the revolution music is gonna be so much BETTER. Outernational is leading the way!” “Trust me. When you see them live you will think, 'hey these guys just got together?' They are going places!! I just saw them for the first time last Saturday for a Joe Strummer book release party and, while I picked my jaw off from the floor and stopped dancing like a wildman, I asked myself, 'Was it like this when the Clash got together in '76?' "When reviewing their last CD for Alternet, I called them the 'new Rage Against The Machine'. Actually, they've outgrown that comparison. With furious political lyrics, dhol-afrobeat-ska rhythms, and out of control antics on stage, Outernational is unique -- comparable only to themselves. The timing couldn't be better." “Outernational's music is simply an influence of culture's colliding to represent the future. They're a young band with the energy, enthusiasm and intelligence to represent the voice of a generation stuck between corporate consumerism and manufactured wars. They're more than a band, they're the truth. Pay attention to their trajectory, you can't afford not to.”
