| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | Test Their Logik was charged with conspiracy and counseling to commit indictable offenses for a song and music video they put out encouraging actions and protests against the G20. After 5 months of being silenced as a hip-hop duo because of non-association conditions they are back together making music again. This is a discussion-based workshop and presentation about their criminalization during the G20 because of their music wh...ich landed them conspiracy charges and several other serious charges, and strict bail conditions that stopped them from working together on creating music. They will focus on what it means to be silenced by the state and the concept of freedom of speech and artistic expression. They will also focus on what led to that point and its aftermath including the infiltration and the surveillance, the ongoing criminalization of their friends, and the political climate in toronto now that the dust is starting to settle. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=211975708828689&ref=notif¬if_t=event_wall#wall_posts (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) Test Their Logik is the dangerously dynamic duo of Testament and Illogik, two trouble making Ontario hip hop artists mixing mad melodies and beat with brutal conscious lyrics in the tradition of political bands like Public Enemy and Dead Prez. These crimethinc boys are the real deal active in the streets and living the messages they speak in the streets and behind the mic. http://www.testtheirlogick.com/ (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) (A) Camas books is found at 2590 Quadra St on the unceded traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples.

| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | http://www.mondaymag.com/articles/entry/crashed-but-not-burned/music/# Crashed, but not burned Posted By: Amanda Farrell-Low 03/30/2011 12:00 AM The story reads like something out of a George Orwell novel: in the lead up to last year’s G20 summit in Toronto, hip-hop duo Test Their Logik get tossed in jail and charged with conspiracy and other indictable offences — for releasing a music video titled “Crash the Meeting.” “The warrants went out under our hip-hop stage names, they went out with pictures from our MySpaces,” says Testament (above left), one half of the socially conscious rap duo. “While we were in jail, the prison guards referred to us as ‘the rappers.’ It was very much targeted because of the music.” After three days in jail, Testament and Ilogik were released under the condition that they weren’t allowed to communicate with each other. Five months later, the charges against the two were stayed (“I guess they realised they couldn’t get a conviction based solely on a music video,” says Testament) and they picked up right back where they started. “For me, I feel like if they take us that seriously, we should take ourselves that seriously too and own that,” the Toronto-based rapper says. In addition to a forthcoming album and new music videos, Test Their Logik have launched into a coast-to-coast tour, including a stop in Victoria. Joined by indigenous rapper Savage Fam, hip-hop artists Mother Tareka and Cleo Madelaine as well as Comrade Black and Andrea Coates, the Sunday, April 3 gig at Solstice Cafe (529 Pandora) promises to be a night of thought-provoking words and beats. Doors are at 6:30 p.m. and admission is a $6 to $15 sliding scale, with free admission for indigenous youth - Fri, 1 Apr 2011 11:55pm | ||
