The North American activist street band scene has really exploded
since the legendary Infernal Noise Brigade did their thing at the WTO
meetings in Seattle back in 1999, and Honk West will be a chance for a
bunch of these bands to have a summit meeting of their own. Inspired
by the east coast Honk Festival (http://www.honkfest.org/) in Boston, this will
be a chance for more than a dozen bands to play together, share music
and experience, form new alliances, and rock the streets! We're not
sure if demonstrators wearing suits and ties (the Bureaucrat Bloc)
will be smashing the symbolic windows of international
counter-hegemonic brassaphilia– that might be a few years down the
road! – but we are certain that the spirit of autonomous, oppositional
joyous musical production with a funky beat will be bolstered by this
weekend, and will spread in a thousand directions thereafter. That's
why it's important that the Hungry March Band, Brooklyn's
international ambassadors of autonomous street-band conspiracy, is
there to represent!

Since this is a new festival, the funds for band travel are very
limited. We're one of the only east coast bands going, and the only
band from New York! It's costing each of us out of our own pocket to
get out there. So....
