Haymarket Squares

The Righteous Ruckus is back in downtown Phoenix as The Haymarket Squares ride back into town to release their first new music in nearly a decade. Phoenix’s pre-eminent protest band is gathering up the original lineup, and Marc, Mark, Mark, and John are geared up and ready for an era-defining hoedown with some of Phoenix’s greatest cultural treasures.  The Squares made their bones by mixing social causes with riotous debauchery to create spaces where reverie and radical politics could mix as easily as whiskey and coke and for their coup de gras after 15 years of dutiful service to radicals, crust punks, hippies, vegans, and freegans the politically charged powerhouse of talent is stirring it up less than a week before the most contentious election in American History.  A lot of bands bring their politics on stage with them, but not as many take them off the stage and bring them to the streets like The Haymarket Squares. Whether marching against Joe Arpaio, railing against capitalism at a political rally, or playing basement benefit shows in the DIY spaces and Squats of Phoenix The Haymarket Squares are never afraid to get their hands dirty in the trenches.  Joining the Squares for this historic event will be a barrage of Phoenix musical luminaries including Daryl Scherer, Camille Sledge, Henri Benard, and more to play through the Squares' extensive catalog of finger-wagging, and fist-pumping tunes, including brand new ones!  This isn’t just a celebration of 15 years of punk grass, it’s a celebration of radical politics and community in Phoenix’s downtown core featuring some of the city's most well-known rabble-rousers.
