ACTIVIST OTEP SHAMAYA CREATES LARGEST TEAM ON RALLY SITE

Posted by Laila Hanson on 24-Jul-08 @ 01:48 PM

In addition to a fierce alliance with powerful metal hooks, singer Otep Shamaya behind the namesake band, Otep, is dedicated to environmental activism. Shamaya recently became involved with Carbonrally.com, a website offering people a fun, simple and social way to have a positive impact on the environment. The website is centered on teams who partake in challenges aimed to reduce CO2. Within 48 hours of creating her "rally" team, its membership had grown to over 200, the largest on the site.

Carbonrally CEO Jason Karas says, "OTEP's leadership and the participation of her fans is a fantastic example of many people working together for a positive outcome. The passion of the OTEP community is clear through their actions and comments on the Carbonrally site. This team - now over 600 strong- will certainly inspire others to take action, reduce CO2, and be a positive force against climate change.

Shamaya adds, "I am so proud of our supporters who have dared to care and get involved. I am honored to work with Carbonrally and am grateful to have a platform such as this. The earth belongs to all of us. What we do to Her, we do to ourselves."

In addition to her involvement with Carbonrally and similar causes, Shamaya launched Allshapesandsizes.org to empower and encourage all people to love themselves. The song, "Perfectly Flawed" from Otep's latest release on Koch Records, the_Acension, was written to celebrate this message.

Otep will hit the west coast on their headlining "Secrets That Kill" tour at the end of this month, featuring openers Anew Revolution and Droid. Dates are listed below.

July 30 - BOISE, ID - THE BIG EASY

BLOC PARTY SINGER ACCUSES JOHN LYDON (SEX PISTOLS) OF RACISM AFTER SCUFFLE

Posted by Brian Shultz on 23-Jul-08 @ 09:57 PM

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has laid accusations of racism against John Lydon, the singer of the Sex Pistols after a recent fight that also involved Ricky Wilson and Yannis Philippakis, the respective frontmen of Kaiser Chiefs and Foals.

The fight broke out at Barcelona's Summercase Festival this past Saturday evening. Okereke, who is of Nigerian descent, reportedly approached Lydon "backstage and asked him about the possibility of a reunion for Public Image Ltd, the band Lydon formed following the Sex Pistols demise in 1978," when, in Okereke's words, Lydon became "intimidating and aggressive while his entourage responded with a racist tirade, including the statement, 'your problem is your black attitude'."

Lydon responded to Okereke's version by saying, "I feel very sorry for a man that needs to lie about what was a perfect evening," and claimed that, "trouble was brought us, resulting in those causing the trouble being physically removed by festival security."

Philippakis and Wilson had jumped to the aid of Okereke in the scuffle, who suffered "severe facial bruising" and a split lip.
