We’re delighted to have Kenyan rock band @crystalaxiske performing on Thursday 3rd September for Decolonise Fest Online! The group, who formed in 2011, are a key part of the thriving Kenyan punk scene and are known for their brooding, larger than life, desert rock sound. 🔥 The band’s lyrics often draw on the brutality of both the legacy of colonialism and the Kenyan government. Their 2019 single ‘Nyayo House’ is based on the torture chambers used by the government to silence dissidents, while 2018 single ‘Leopold’ is about the atrocities inflicted on the Congo by King Leopold II of Belgium. You won’t want to miss the exclusive live set they’ve put together for this event - free tickets (or donation tickets!) are available from @dicefm, link in bio. 🎫 Decolonise Fest online is supported using funding from @aceagrams. . . . . #crystalaxis #decolonisefest #decolonisefestonline #pocpunx #livestream #dicefm #artscouncilengland (at Virtual Show) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJou-qnezK/?igshid=1e1zhrptcvcx1

We’re into the final day of our pounds for punx effort to help get @crystalaxiske from Kenya to London for this year’s Decolonise Fest! After a phenomenal response we’re so close to 50% of the way there! And if everyone who reads this donates just £1 or £2 (or just helps to spread the word in their networks!) then we’ll easily smash our target. Thanks so much for all the support so far!! 🖤 Link in bio to donate, the JustGiving page has a £2 minimum, or £1 can be donated directly to our PayPal 💫 #decolonisefest #pounds4punx #crystalaxis #fundraiser (at Donation Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rHKrZHIJA/?igshid=1snb3szg1vfiv

For the next 48 hrs we’re all about the power of the pound!! We’re encouraging everyone who’s able to donate ONE POUND to our fundraiser for Kenyan rock band @crystalaxiske between now and Friday!  💷 Crystal Axis’ lyrics often draw on the brutality of both the legacy of colonialism and the Kenyan government. Their 2019 single ‘Nyayo House’ is based on the torture chambers used by the government to silence dissidents, while 2018 single ‘Leopold’ is about the atrocities inflicted on the Congo by King Leopold II of Belgium. 🗣 Every year Decolonise Fest aims to bring over an international band to ensure we represent the punx of colour community beyond the UK, and this year is no different. We’re raising money to go towards the band’s flight costs, fees, visa applications, and additional travel costs. ✈️ If each of our followers donated £1 then we’d absolutely smash our target - so if you’re able, please consider donating today!

Hey @crystal-axis I’m sorry you feel so bummed around the holidays. I have similar feelings, too, but I promise you’re not selfish for taking a little time for yourself. Have this girl laying in some flowers. 

hello to you too!
