The Taqwacores

The first time I read about “The Taqwacores” was in Sandmonkey’s blog. Later on he’d tell me about a video he watched of the bands crashing an ISNA show (ISNA = Islamic Society of North America). “A band of Canadian Pakistani lesbians?! At an ISNA event?! No way!” was my reaction. He giggled… and he was right!

Read about the whole spectacle here. The article is UNMISSABLE!

The last part when they start smashing their guitars is hilarious! Rock on!

Why is it that live bands always sound so much worst on stage?

Where were the Lesbians? Were they the group before they went on stage? Blah, it’s too early…

Dunno, mate…

Punk generally is the way of confused kiddies.

And confused kiddies calling themselves “Vote Hizballah” or “Suicide bomb the gap” make me very suspicious. To say the least.
