FRANKYEFFE - BIOGRAPHY Traversing the winding passages of his own cavernous capabilities, prolific Italian DJ, producer and label owner Frankyeffe – real name Francesco Fava – is well on his way to reaching the peak of his towering potential. Since his career’s 2001 inception, he’s wandered some of the darkest corners of melodic techno, injecting innovation and amplitude and gradually cementing himself as a true master within his own class. Initially rising to prominence behind the decks of ...

A healthy whale is a big profit-center just swimming out there for the taking. The sea has very little enforceable law. It’s all very watery. The Japanese whaling industry wants one of the great earth-defending heroes of our time to go to prison for “throwing a stink-bomb” at a Japanese citizen on one of their massive death ship/factories. The murd…

Is any resistance to our carbon-based life style gonna happen? For years now screaming doomsayers have predicted these drowning and burning cities, the starvation and drought and disease. Is the Sixth Extinction underway? This week, with music from Common and the Fiery Eagles of Justice and The Stop Shopping Choir and lots of bullfrogs…. We ask: Ca…

Trump is trying to build a wall. The Earth eats walls. Trump puts fear in dreams. The Earth puts love in dreams. The Earth puts love in dreams to keep out the fear. The Earth is what people are made of, the materials of the Earth and the electricity in a thought and a beating heart and --- We are agents of the Earth. The Earth is life making life a…

The Earth is everywhere all the time, it's you and me and the ideas, pixels and bad breath that connect us. The Earth is in charge and what they (the Earth is non-binary, we believe in the Church of Stop Shopping) - what they are working hard at just now is something called the Sixth Extinction. In the Earth Riot Radio world this is what has replac…

Every show rocked with pandemonium at the end. Then people wouldn't leave. Our 12 singers and musicians joined an audience that became a party that became a town hall meeting. They stayed to talk and listen with such conviction that they impacted the content of the next performance. (We had 3 performances in two days in London.) The idea that the E…

We don't know what it will take to stop the climate catastrophe. We haven't found it yet. Let's look everywhere for a way to stop this great machine; there must be a weak link there somewhere. One approach: Pull out and re-direct some part of the machine that they assume can never disobey, like a highway cone, like you and me...…

Today's Earth Riot is for you activists. Keep talking to the Earth as you risk arrest, crossing the property-line, of a criminal organization like Chevron. You are both talking to yourself, because you are the Earth, and you are talking to the Earth outside of you. But don't let the Earth be inside you only, you'll lose your place in the world. And…

Earth must flood us all and downpour you and I into the valley below when we have built up a false border with our fear. Defeat the religions, militaries, nation states and racial hatred... Borders need to be washed away now, and fear made useless. In this "flying" episode from June of 2023 we flow the borders away with flood and flight. This is th…

Every Human and More than Human has a song to sing and we have a variety of singers this week, from Nigeria to LA to NYC to Ecuador to South Africa to a swelling wave of Snow Geese... There is an unmistakable swing in institutions from Peace to Violence - you see it in religions, corporations, nation-states. Official fear everywhere. But - the Eart…

The “repetition” of the song’s “melody-tone tempo,” she explains, provides a shared sonic “meeting place” and “stage” where our emotions can temporarily liberate individual identities. What Savitri D calls the “transformational potential” of singing with other people and (we would add), singing with the songs that radiate from the forest at night, …

In this week's "Earth Riot" we bring in Estonia, where song-power is demonstrated by Estonia's resistance to Stalinism and Nazism with huge concerts starring the whole country! and - Chile, resisting the fascist Pinochet and his killers with the songs of Victor Jara and the womens' chanting dance: "The Rapist in Your Path". From our own continent w…

So here we go. I know a theatrical woman named Lois Weaver who says "The Only Way Home Is Through the Show". Well, amended to reflect our current world-wide inferno, we could say "The Only Way Home Is Through the Heat Wave". Or the only way home is through our money-sucking karma, our religious wars, our fetish for forever toxins. But please - I wa…

We are the "Earthchxrch", and for 20 years we were "The Church of Stop Shopping" - and emerging from the lie of virtuality was our thing. But now, with every month a record-breaking nightmare of heat, and the scientists telling us that the computer modeling doesn't work anymore because everything is exploding, we are left alone with the Earth. The …

The riddle of our time is: How could we remain so passive, when the violence is so near and so well-known in every way. We know the perpetrators, their bank accounts, the location and operation of their greed. Every month for the last 14 months has been the hottest on record. The scientists who reported what weather to expect based on computer mode…

The storms and wildfires and floods are a daily apocalypse that we mistake for sense-surround blockbusters. The Earth's violent insistence on a new realism for its chief predator is beginning to move some of us. But we are years away from a new "Earth Movement”. We don't even have the most basic things all successful social movements have: hot musi…

The necessary revolution is here in this extraordinary moment. Our only task is to live up to it. The Earth's 6th Extinction is not demanding a response within our quiver of desire, or our strategy, or even our reverence. It is happening, that's all. And a new Wisdom must come from us.Di Reverend Billy and Savitri D

The Earth is quickly changing us. Everything everywhere is undergoing unprecedented change and this change sees the surfacing of the once hidden Empress of Secrets. It is the Earth's gift in this time of apocalypse. Silicon Valley, the Pentagon and M and M's are camouflaging the surface around us with a thick coat of dullness, but the Earth is peel…

The Sunday "Earthchxrch" services remain so fulfilling, the soaring voices with their justice lyrics delivered with the 200 mph wind of recent storms. The choir sings I Go The Mountain and I'm Filled with the Fabulous Unknown from our new album. And we celebrate in this Earth Riot some of our greatest "necessary interruptions": Sister Rosetta Tharp…

Today’s Importance Exercise: What’s more important? Atmospheric rivers over the Pacific, or artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley? The rise in carbon units per million, or crypto currency market rates? Suicides among young native Americans or celebrities-on-the-cover-of-PEOPLE who got sober and remarried? The trillions in profits from toxins by…

Since the Earth's crisis gives us months or maybe years, gradualism is a faster kind of suicide. Every one of our prayers needs to be like an ambulance, flooring it right at the emergency. Scientists say that most of reality is a whirlwind of subatomic particles called Dark Energy. So, we are stranded on a desperate little human island, while Dark …

Asks Neil to please name his band after the mystic who met George Armstrong Custer at Little BigHorn, and Neil, open your set with Cortez the Killer. Let in the Earth radicals from where? Who are they? … let the unknown arrestees take the stage to shout for the Earth’s life. Ask dazzling Daryl Hannah, can she please produce the harmonizing tree-hug…

Yet our neighborhoods continue to drift toward a great mono-culture, deadly to play and resistance. The physical characteristics of the city are against the body, against the poor and people of color. We are more aware of the attack on us by the rich since Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, and Occupy Wall Street. These are the great freedom rides …

Dreams of liberation and laughter, freedom and love. When we get up our dreams turn into music and the more-than-human creatures sing in passionate harmonies, preparing to pull our dreams into action in broad daylight. The melody and beats that dreamily echo in our bodies make a common song shared by all living things as we march on the fossil pois…

The Earth's every measurement, every single set of numbers we can give to the sky-rocketing heat, the sea-rise and wind-speed of storms and Iowa tornadoes and drowned polynesian islands... all the mass death of wild-life as well as the mass war of humans... it is all deadly-looking. But look we must, and the first thing we see is that many others, …

Turn to the Earth for your leadership NOW. How is this possible? Wait for direction from what Russel Means called ‘The Great Mystery’. Decrypt the wild life. Presidents should always not be sure of their answers. The only special quality that nation-states have, which make them unique, is that they are weaponized. Disarm nations and start over with…

The danger continues. The big boys are up there messing with mother nature while I'm brushing my teeth in the suburb with no name. And entire towns are disappearing in the downpours and fires... But one person's Nessun Dorma is another person's Screaming Mountain Gopher. One person's Thus Spake Zarathustra is another person's Go Away Bird. The shad…

The con-men and con-women look in at us and claim our insides. They introduce us to our own interior, our identity is their property. THIS ARRANGEMENT WILL KEEP US MODERATE, UNABLE TO CHALLENGE THE POISONERS. THE MASS EXTINCTION OF NATURAL LIFE AND ITS PARALLEL CRIME OUR EXTREME WEALTH AND EXTREME POVERTY…. THE MASS MORTALITY WILL ACCELERATE. Shopp…

It's tricky. When 10,000 products try to hardsell you every day, promising happiness, sex, wealth, health and beauty, but those products are secretly polluting the Earth creating impossible wind and waves, fire and floods... And the answer to this betrayal is to love the Earth and team up with the Earth against the product toxins, but then the Eart…

The history of movements is felt deeply in Neil's songs, in "Four Dead in Ohio" and the cracking whip in "Southern Man", the vulnerability of "Comes a Time" and "Searching for a Heart of Gold" and the relentless rock of Crazy Horse when it breaks into "Hey Hey My My (out of the Blue and into the Black). In this Riot we select as an echo to our nigh…

The powerful thing about this experiment is that we are talking directly to people about the Earth’s crisis. It’s not graphics, mass mailings, or social media’s pixels. In the first three shows the choir and I played to 21,000 people. Our job is like an opening act, but also we are hosting the event of the LOVE EARTH tour. Neil and his partner Dary…

Beatles, Panthers, Standing Rock, David Graeber, Act-Up, Earth First, XR. Today as we prepare to tour with Neil Young, we find ourselves wondering: Can a famous activist or group make change on the level that the Earth needs? Or is Consumer Society always pushing such people to depoliticize?Di Reverend Billy and Savitri D

“There must be more to life!” was the cry as the new movement toward Earth-friendly Love took root in a White Christian Nationalist enclave of rural Texas. Worshippers were stranded with their Bibles as the mass of Trumpers seemed to veer off during a Pentecostal hymn that spun out of control. Senior church officials lamented “You could feel a happ…

The Earth is the protester now. We don't know how to join her and - we must. The consume-life economy will oppose any effort to break out of the virtual world of American-style capitalism. We are all the natural disaster. We are inside the tsunamis and quakes and typhoons and heat-waves and fires and floods... We are inside the disappearance of lif…

It is clearly a moment for a new approach to defending the Earth. All manner of protests can be absorbed by the police and their corporation sponsors. Control of the press, shadow-banning of social media, the constant presence of aggressive marketing - the sources of climate toxins have had many years to perfect their response to standard protestin…

Always invite the Earth - the living being who creates living beings that become a part of it - to whatever event you are hosting. If you are negotiating with New York City about what to do with the 10,000 migrants arriving each month, and you don't have the Earth at the table, then you are pissing in Hell. First of all, they are coming here becaus…

We find kindness in the strangest places. Kindness is confusing to the fearful; mistaken for crime by politicians. Kindness has power, after all, that cannot be controlled. Kindness is not a static quality; it is always in motion as people touch and fly apart. Mutual kindness can blossom into radical sharing. Strangers living in a sudden conscious …

In our current time in history, with the chaos of civil societies, the emergence of strong man governments and toxic capitalism and the resulting accelerating climate violence, we notice in our work at the Earthchxrch that there is a searching return by many humans to the most basic, hopeful, qualities: Love, kindness, and gratitude.…

Artists show the way: Coltrane and Ginsberg and Levitt and Annie Sprinkle and Bimbo Rivas and Basquiat and Keith Haring... they made new personal worlds in order to give themselves a way to inhabit on this Earth, and change people around them with their Earth-life.... It's time for Ecstatic Environmentalism! Threatening, erotic, unembarrassable, da…

And the first wave of this mass extinction has hit New York. Thousands upon thousands of humans in busses and planes and trains and cars, with bundles and backpacks and not-warm-enough-clothes. What they call the extinction is actually sped up evolution, and our dull city needs it so badly. They walked through Earthchxrch's door for the central hea…

We have made common journey to find each other in the intensity of this moment that we meet. We get whole-body relief, that they are here, pouring out their trust and we reply in kind. And quickly after that, a pact of mutual loyalty. What can I do for you? Share laughter. Best wishes. Willingness to work. Music. In the Earthchxrch we are feeling a…

The scripted fictions - little staged videos - depicting young migrants fighting police and shoplifting in Times Square, and then the spewing of hate from police/governor/mayor right on cue... All this drives us underground. We'll be non-official radical volunteers as New York City forsakes Lady Liberty and does its best imitation of Alabama. We'll…

The fearful hate retreats in the face of the vision of freedom for all, especially for the people of the global south who have suffered at the hands of White Nationalist Neo-Liberal Capitalism. At the Earthchxrch we welcome the Newest New Yorkers, about a hundred mostly West African young men each day. They join us at 36 Loisaida Ave (Ave C) in the…

A hard-right Christian punched my lights out while I was preaching about Peace. But evil is dynamic. It moves. Evil flows in a river of happenstance and purpose and pain and laughter. Fearful fascists can be looked in the eye and appealed to. The Devil can change his mind. Look, I have Evil in my life like everybody else. In this episode of Earth R…

He recently said “The flood of immigrants coming here - will destroy New York City. And it’s coming to a neighborhood near you.” Oh, really? And are they druggies and rapists? The migration, 200,000 souls in NYC in the last year and a half, is exactly what we need, and it is what we are. The meaning of the 22-story-high female jurist standing in ou…

The songs of the new release, Before and After, give us Love that we can use. The wars and mass extinction seem to mock the tenderness of Love, but the message is simple-- Love is the only way to survive. Working with his collaborator Lou Adler, Neil Young tells a hundred stories with this record, some achingly personal and many universal. Neil and…

This year, we are the Earth. We're feeling good about the activism we have tried, but the Earth creates our direct action with the radical example of the Evolution of Species. And that is a Hell of Fierce Thing. We will fly over, dig under, camouflage in plain sight. We will grow claws, fins, re-growable tails and distributed intelligence like Octo…
