ABOUT

When punk emerges from within and in direct response to authoritarianism, it is at its most raw and powerful. Hardcore punk collective Cacerolazo are demonstrating this on their furious new EP 'The Sound of Anger and Dissent', recorded amid military rule and civil war in Myanmar. With some band members now relocated to the UK, we have an opportunity to play a gig in Manchester in September, and we need a drummer!

Background:
Myanmar’s military seized power from the democratically elected government on 1 February 2021. The protest movement demanding the army return to its barracks was quickly crushed, with conflict spreading across the country as the resistance took arms to defend itself and fight back against the regime’s violence and destruction. Nearly 3,000 civilians have been killed and over 13,000 people remain detained.
A collection of Myanmar punks and members of international bands formed Cacerolazo in the country’s biggest city Yangon shortly after the coup, quickly releasing “The Night Will Not Be Silenced”, an ode to the daily 8pm banging of pots and pans in a demonstration of disgust towards military rule that included a cover of 1988 Myanmar revolutionary anthem Kabar Ma Kyay Bu.
The band took its name from the Spanish word for this form of protest popularised in 1971 when women banged empty pots on the streets to demonstrate against food shortages in Chile. The practice also has a long history in Myanmar as a means of driving out evil spirits.
