FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6th
7:00 PM
at INTERNATIONALIST BOOKS
405 W. FRANKLIN ST., CHAPEL HILL

Some folks in the music scene can get nostalgic from time and time and  
reminisce of the, "good old days" when rock was political, when it,  
"meant something." Cipher is one of those bands that bring back  
nostalgia far more vivid than the memories of the apple pies grandma  
used to make. For some it's nostalgia for a place inside themselves  
where their hearts burned for what seemed for a minute to be tangible  
revolutionary social change in our lifetimes. It's more than Cipher's  
aggression, it's more than their political content, and it's more than  
the way they braid musical genres at times create their own. Cipher is  
music in action. Cipher would travel halfway across the country to  
play a show to one kid with in hopes that when she left the show that  
night she took control over her destiny, pledging to fight for a  
better tomorrow. This is what sets Cipher apart, that, and the fact  
that they are always willing to try something new.

In the vein of trying something new Cipher's front man, Maurice (Moe)  
Mitchell decided to hit the road on a different kind of tour, a  
lecture & listening tour. At each stop Moe will be playing exclusive  
tracks off Cipher's newest release, The Joyous Collapse, due to come  
out in May, 2010. He also will be speaking about the politics behind  
the songs, the "call for a new direction" in our music scene, and  
working to facilitate dialog aimed at community building at each stop.
