In 2004 the first Clamor Music Festival was held in 32 cities across the United States featuring over 150 performers with the common goal of celebrating independent media. Now we're ready to do it again...and we need your help!

Grab your calendars. The 2006 Clamor Music Festival will take place on Saturday, October 21st, and will again feature shows all over the country. Each show will be a dual fundraiser for Clamor and a local social justice/arts/independent media organization in each hosting city. The festival is based on a few basic principles we believe all media should follow: accessibility, community control, and mutual aid. But above all it's just going to be a lot of fun.

Big ups to all of our sponsors for the CMF: Baby Wit, Botanical Earth, Daemon Records, Mpress Records, Off Our Backs, The Progressive, Reasons of the Heart, Seven Stories Press, Snazzygirl, Stickerguy, and Stumptown Printers.
