We dust off the hoaxes, the infamous lawsuits, and the label wrangling that made Negativland the cult legends they are today. If any one group has deserved the notoriety of being considered "dangerous" by the mainstream, Negativland is it. Now celebrating their 25th anniversary, after an extended absence from the public spotlight, they return this year with a fistful of CDs, DVDs, and books. As advocates for Fair Use and amendments in copyright law, they've been embroiled in some of the nastiest legal battles. As culture-jammers, they pulled off some of the most audacious media hoaxes in music history. Since their inception in 1980, they've thrown an entire history of counterculture, from literary satire to folk to punk to musique concrete, into a creative blender and come up with a mishmash of ego-debunking tape loops and bristling social attacks. A collective of staunchly independent and fiercely intelligent media pranksters, their records bridge the gap between Faust and Kid606, between the Residents and 2 Many DJ's. Additional instructional and support team members to be released shortly.Bay Area media-artists Negativland are considered one of the most subversive, curious bands to emerge from the last 20 years of the 20th century.
