Inspired by Woody Guthrie, Canada's godfather of
punk, Joe Keithley has always been out to change the world,
through almost 35 years of D.O.A., he and the band have taken on
all brands of oppressors. Now Joe is trying to do it from
inside the system, he is seeking the New Democratic Party
(NDP) nomination in the British Columbia riding of Coquitlam -
Burke Mountain.
The NDP are a party committed to fairness and
equality for all. At the age of 18, when Keithley left Burnaby
North High, already a justice minded young student of politics, he joined
the NDP. That only lasted a couple of years as his new band D.O.A. started
to take off after the release of the Disco Sucks 7" EP in
1978.
D.O.A. will out promoting their new album We
Come In Peace this fall with a 20 date tour across Canada
starting on October 20. This is not the end for D.O.A., but these will
likely be the last dates for four to eight years and who knows, maybe
forever.
Joe Keithley, Canada's godfather of punk has dug into his
collection of rare vinyl and is making it available. Go to suddendeath.com
and find items like early D.O.A. singles The
Prisoner/13 and General Strike. We've got colored vinyl such
as: The Modernetttes, D.O.A. and the Vancouver
Complication double LP. There's tons more to see as well. LPs like an
Out of Print No Means No 12" and the Young Canadians LP.
