Vortis: Agitainment & Punk Rock from Chicago

About Me

"Vortis" is short for VORTICISM, a British avant-garde art movement of 1914-1915. Inspired by the young Ezra Pound, its circle included, among its leading poets and writers, the young T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, as well as painters, sculptors, photographers and dramatists. Vortis stands WITH the right wing AGAINST THE NEW WORLD ORDER.Vortis stands WITH the left wing AGAINST GLOBALIZATION.Vortis stands WITH the anarchist AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY.VORTIS GOES WHERE ITS VORTEX TAKES IT. You never know which side we'll be on, but you can be sure that we'll be FIGHTING THE POWER.Each member of Vortis stands FOR HIMSELF.VORTIS GIVES YOU AGITAINMENT.We shake you up and make you think, and we don't mind if you HAVE SOME RAUCOUS FUN while we do it.
