Set aside this Wednesday 25 May for Canadian hard rockers Propaghandi, who will be taking to the stage at the Bar on the Hill tonight. A message from the band should give you an idea of what’s what: “Propagandhi will not abandon Australia. Propagandhi will not allow Australia to become a haven for terrorists. Propagandhi will remain engaged in Australia until everyone is either dead, maimed or incarcerated. Only then can democracy and freedom prevail. Now let us blaze!”. Tickets are available from U-Shops on campus, The Rock Shop, Catfight Collections, Big Tix & Oz Tix.
