My name is Pat The Bunny.
My home is southern Vermont but I am usually some place else playing songs with my friends. For the record, the meaning of life is freedom and joy, and you'll find it away from all screens and in the hands of communities that make you feel safer than the police ever could. See you there! It's good to meet you, but I hate talking over the internet.I love to play shows!
Booking is all done over e-mail, not MySpace: [email protected] to get on my contact list for next time I am coming through your area on tour. I hate bars, clubs, and legitimate institutions of commerce. I tour frequently, although my band can almost never come. I love show houses, anarchist collectives, bike shop basements, etc. It costs mad money to go on tour these days, so please don't ask me to play a show where nobody comes and nobody pays. Not feeding and housing touring bands is bad punk rock karma.You don't have to ask me if you can cover my songs!
Unless you thought you needed someone's permission to play songs. In that case, pay me royalty money. Remember that songs are living things. They live through everyone who finds meaning in them. That being said, I'm not going to write the tabs for the songs out for you, because I'm grumpy and I don't give a shit. (Apply the same logic to file sharing and questions about why all my songs aren't up for free download.)TUE AUG 5 Right now I am on top of shit. Your order is in the mail. Yesterday I moved into a semi-permanent place to live for the first time in years. My friends and me have been giving away free food every day in the center of town. Unless something terrible happens in the next thirty days, on September 5th I will start the next tour (three weeks in the northeast) with my road dawg Mark Leonard. To new songs and old friends! Freedom is madness...and goddamn am I free!DON'T BUY ANYTHING EVER AGAIN
but if you do, i got stuff i can sell you
SPARE CHANGE RECORDS 17 ELLIOT STREET BRATTLEBORO, VT 05301 send a letter explaining what you want, with well concealed cash or a money order (with the payee left blank) to pay for the items. Click those fancy buttons to order through PayPal, but that's not nearly as fun. All items sold on a sliding scale. If you're new to anti-capitalism, that means pay whatever you think is fair. Pay the minimum amount on the slider because it costs money to mail shit. Also, I like to eat food. Add $2 for international postage to anywhere outside the United States. EXPECT TO WAIT A MONTH FOR YOUR ORDER! Often it will come sooner but do not write me to complain until a month has gone by.T-SHIRTS
($10-20 sliding scale) T-shirst and patches look like this. Personally I wouldn't pay anyone money for the right to advertise their band, but I also say that I've seen sasquatch. Indicate what size you want, and a color preference, in your order comments--although often we only have white shirts. They are much cheaper if you buy them at a show.PATCHES
($2-5 sliding scale) Look the same as the shirts. They are screen printed on scraps of cloth I find lying around.
NEW! wingnut dishwashers union: never trust a man who plays guitar!

($5-10 sliding scale) old songs about being sixteen, addicted to speed, and miserable all the time. these songs don't get played any more because they are not the truth any more. this CD contains all of the old johnny hobo material for those still interested. (july 2006)
