Rabia was a punk rock band from NYC. Street kids hanging in St. Marks, drinking 40's in parks, living in squats, they played at almost every venue in NYC like CBGBs, ABC No Rio, C-Squat, etc. Political fast hardcore with attitude, with lyrics in Spanish and English. This first demo was recorded real-to-real by Mike Dregg in 2005 at Serenity Squat in the LES. Plus a cover song State Oppression. Rabia was: Jose on vocals, Simon on guitar, Carlos on bass, Ian on drums and later on Dave on guitar. Cheers y'all!

The Mamaluke Show starring Anthony Russo, Rob Castoria, and yours truly. After recording separate episodes with these guys, we had a text thread going on and decided to combine our idiotic behavior and do an episode with the three of us. So here it is. A bunch of nonsensical banter, along with a couple of serious topics as well. We talk a bit about the All day Barbecue/Benefit show I am currently putting together at Lucky 13 Saloon for Robs mom, as well as touch on the fact that our friend Lou Koller is currently cancer-free. Then, we dive back into insignificant ramblings of mental patients. Enjoy.

CAGED BIRD FULL EP (LIVE)

Lyrics: 

AYYYY FULANO!!!!

If pressure really makes diamonds,
Then every nigga is a star,
for the pressure you perceived,
has pushed you down so far,
the depths of your mind,
is the surface of most's experience,
Let me tell you this disease is mighty serious

They saw you and your people,
and glued a barcode to your back,
Threw some shackles on your ankles and wrist,
and said "This is it!"
work for free or go get lynched
work for free or go get lynched

We are a people of power and potential that they fear
So our voices they must hear
our voices they must hear
our voices they must hear

Heavily sedated, life is overrated,
floating on a cloud, I dissociated,
Can't escape the matrix, so I live it out!
Embrace contradictions, know that life is doubt
Must I simply pout? Can I make a change?
Will I always cope, living in a daze?
Appreciate the praise, know it's just a phase
Even though I still, sing inside cage
sing inside cage, sing inside cage,
Waiting for the day... Set a heart ablaze

Another day of dealing, exploits and money stealing
It feels as if I'm reeling back, unwind the tape, cut the slack,
Peel back my black, unveil the pink, I'm where it's at!
"Who's who? What's that? He on attack, he stating facts!

Whites vs Blacks, much like the dogs chasing cats... Huh?
Whites vs Blacks, much like the dogs chasing cats... What?

I'm not starting Helta Skelta, I'm simply seeking shelter,
From the bullets they pop, and bombs they drop,
Can policing of our bodies please stop?
Villainize who synthesize the life that you got...
Guess you an opp!

On the side of law & order,
Intuition & Chaos telling me to slaughter,
All the agents of institutions that rape our daughters,
If they pulling up with water, I'm the fire starter,
Ain't no kinda sorta!

I... Know... Why...The Caged...Bird...SINGS!

The Caged, Bird, SINGS!
The Caged, Bird...

I... Know... Why...The Caged...Bird...SINGS!

The Caged, Bird, SINGS!
The Caged, Bird, SINGS!
The Caged, Bird, SINGS!
The Caged, Bird, SINGS!

ANOTHA' DAY (LIVE)

Lyrics: 

The NYPD was developed in the mid nineteenth Century
Taking on the form of our former oppressors in London England

The police consisted of two different factions...
The Metropolitans and The Municipals.
The municipals were sent to spaces where browns and immigrants dwelled... They consisted of mainly untrained recruits
They say with every piece of broken glass,
There's always a bigger issue ahead...

Free Me! Free Me!
Let me out of this cage!
Free Me! Free Me!
Subjected since a young age!
Free Me! Free Me!
Living the life that you made!

Forces among us,
Sent to control us,
Are you a friend or foe?
So Let the people know
Who are you to judge?
You broke the law you love...

VIVA VIVA TORTUGITA!

But we live in cop city!

Free Me! Free Me!
Let me out of this cage!
Free Me! Free Me!
Subjected since a young age!
Free Me! Free Me!
Living the life that you made!

DUB SONG (LIVE)

Lyrics:

Stuck as the person, that you labelled me to be,
I just wanna be free, come get outta here with me.

Stuck in my body, always fight, flight or freeze.
I just wanna be free, come get outta here with me.

come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.

Don't expect you to forgive,
All that shit that I did.
All those times I hit the lid
breaking down like a kid
Boy was just another jit
Acting as if he is legit,
Always gotta prove yourself,
Aiming for the pulpit...
Please don't forget!

Please remember my brother,
Your black is beautiful,
But cuz... you must work harder than others.
This world is designed to smother,
whatever flame you have became,
rather turn you to a lame, or make you clinically insane... UGH!

come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
come get outta here with me.
UGH!
