Anti-Consumerist, Conscious Caroling in Boston

AMP logoBoston’s radical musicians’ collective AMP will put the détournement in your holiday season during the coming week with several caroling events, singing traditional songs with lyrics altered to mirror the hot political topics of the day.

You’ll find the carolers:

  • Saturday, December 12, 3 pm. outside the Harvard Square T stop in Cambridge
  • Friday, December 18, 5:30 pm. just outside the Downtown Crossing T stop, downtown
  • Saturday, December 19, 2 pm. Meet at the main entrance to the Prudential Mall, Boylston St.

Songbooks will be distributed to those interested in singing, so lift up your voices and raise some hell.

Disclosure: AMP was started by friends here in Boston, and, having played a very minor organizing role last year, I’m one of the officers of the Facebook group.
